I am a professional sports photographer. I currently work for Major League Baseball Advanced Media and numerous (major) publications as well as three different trading card (baseball card) companies.

For those who have been asking, YES, I will be in Round Rock, Texas on Friday, June 16th to shoot Roger Clemens' final minor league "rehb" start. Check back the next day for photos.

My work was also featured quite extensively in a book entitled: Digital Sports Photography: Take Winning Shots Every Time by Serge Timacheff. Serge used forty of my photographs in his book. I also participated in an interview for the book and wrote a small section on tips for shooting baseball. Three of my photographs can be found on the front and back covers (one on the front, two on the back cover).

That said, I specialize in Major and Minor League Baseball and have worked at some of the nicest MLB stadiums in the country including: Camden Yards (Baltimore), PNC Park (Pittsburgh), Comerica Park (Detroit), Citizen Bank Park (Philadelphia), Coors Field (Denver), Tropicana Field (Tampa Bay), Pro Player Stadium (Miami), Fenway Park (Boston), Jacobs Field (Cleveland), Busch Stadium (St. Louis), Angels Stadium (Anaheim), Dodgers Stadium (Los Angeles), Petco Park (San Diego), and RFK Stadium (Washington Nationals).

I've been fortunate enough to have worked in every Florida spring training facility.

In 2005 I was extremely busy photographing Minor League Baseball - having shot the: Appalachian League (for three different clients/publications), New York Penn League, Carolina League, Pacific Coast League, Gulf Coast League (on assignment for two different trading card companies), Florida State League, International League, Eastern League, and the South Atlantic League.

For 2006 I have already been contracted (by different clients) to shoot the Pioneer League, Pacific Coast League, Northwest League, Appalachian League, New York Penn League, Florida State League, and the Carolina League. That means a lot more travel on my 2006 calendar.....I'm certainly accumulating a lot of frequent flyer miles. American Airlines and Westin Hotels love me!
