Discover Top News Shooters / Video Journalists in Jacksonville, Florida, USA

To put it briefly, I am a photojournalist and editorial photographer at heart. Being a photojournalist gives you a license to be curious about all things. It's all about the people and their stories. There is nothing I love better than going out on an assignment, being able to illustrate a good story, and then seeing those photos in print or on the web. I get an indescribable high from it every time. Every day in this biz is a new adventure. And you're only as good as the picture in today's paper. I have been a staff photographer at 4 different daily newspapers, but I've freelanced and had my work featured in publications across the country. I shoot news video for First Coast News, the Tegna affiliate in Jacksonville, Florida in addition to my still photography work. I cover a wide variety of stories with and without a reporter. A lot of what I do is transmitted to the station as it is happening.

First and foremost I’m an artist. I began drawing, and progressed to painting in aerosol, and oil on canvas. I then began doing graphic design, for various clothing brands like 26 Red, Jnco Jeans, and more. I continued painting, and began training in Impressionism with master painter C.W. Mundy. After pursuing many forms of visual arts, for over twenty years, I made my foray into video production. My passion for imagery seamlessly transitioned into moving pictures. I also believe my background in graphic design, and fine art have given me a keen sense of composition.
