MEH: my simple story...

I really did grow up on a potato farm in beautiful Midwest America. My mother a Mexican migrant worker from the south and my pops a first generation German farmer "making his way."

Their "love story" is a great one... if interested ask me about it. It is definitely filled with "triumph & tragedy!"

I was lucky to have found my "true love" early on, ART then Photography which really to me means and equals one! 

Like many other photographers I am inspired and curious by people and the ways in which they live.  The importance of the "humanity"of that place in my work is an un-ending search. Forever curious, forever young and forever taking a chance to see life and its random circumstance. 

I studied art at the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design and earned my MFA at the University of Wisconsin Madison. 

My mentors are many and I am lucky for that... Over the last twenty years I have worked on many fine art, commercial and journalistic projects using various camera formats and lighting conditions. I sure hope to keep them coming...

I am fortunate to have over a decade of teaching experience at various schools like the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design, & as a Graduate student I served as a TA at the University WI - Madison in the Art Department, I also served as an Adjunct Photo Prof at Carthage College (Which was one of my favorite teaching gigs.), & my longest run  (11 Years) was a Photo Faculty member in the Media & Creative Arts Department at the Milwaukee Area Technical College.

But... then of course a new "life circumstance" the West came calling.... So as it stands I travel from the West to the Midwest to the West still making pictures! Still searching, still teaching, still in love & still "dancing with strangers." 

& things just keep on rolling… I have more recently taught as a Photo Adjunct at the Caine College of the Arts at Utah State University, teaching courses: Photography 1 & 2, Analog Photography, Digital Imaging and Photographic Studio courses, as well as teaching “Photography the Art of Seeing” & a Photographic Alternative Process course at the Cache Valley Center for the Arts. I am currently serving as a active member on the Public Art Advisory Board for the city of Logan, Utah as well.

Call, text or Email me if you would like to commission me for a portrait or a photographic story or series & if you would like to see a more specific collection of work or a show listing I can certainly do that as well.

Beware: I intentionally  have ex-cluded almost all color from my site... but know I have always gone both ways…
