I guess it is true when they say that if you love your job, it never is really work. That's how I fell about photography. My first real exposure to the art was during my Sophomore year in high school from an amazing photographer, teacher, and friend, Randall Gornowich (RandallArt on here). Since then I have never really been able to put down the camera.
As I finish up my tour of duty in the US Marine Corps as a Combat Photographer I look back at how much I have improved over the years. I have been able to experience so many things that are not normal for some one my age. All of my experiences, both the good and the bad, have made me the man and photographer I am today and I would not change a thing. So far my photos have appeared in The Washington Post (front page I THINK), Washington Times, USA Today, on the cover of Leatherneck Magazine, considered for the cover of a new National Geographic book, and MSNBC even picked one of my shots as a "Photo of the Week" for the week of April 5-12th. Phew... thats a lot to happen in one year!
Come August of 2008 I will be moving back to Washington DC to go back to school. I will be attending the Corcoran College of Art and Design and I will be majoring in Photojournalism.
I try to dip into as many forms and types of photography as possible. I love the journalistic side of photography as well as the fine art side. Just give me a camera and I am happy!

Vince Alongi says:
"Congratulations, your work is excellent and very interesting. I'm into photojournalism myself (for the State Department), and as you know, trying to get the shot at times can be rather stressful, even if it's just a handshake between VIPs. But I can't even begin to imagine what it must be like to have to take photos in combat situation like you do, worrying not only about exposure settings, composition and all that jazz, but about getting shot as well. My hat's off to you, and all the combat photographers out there. Keep up the good work!"
