  • About

 

My work is an exploration of American culture in our time. In 2013, I published my first book entitled AMERICA: WITNESSED. I have exhibited my work in both solo and group exhibitions across the country. I am a father, a husband, and a Kentucky Colonel. I have photographed at the White House, and am one of the house photographers at the Coney Island Freak Show. I studied architecture and photography at the University of Kentucky, and have been working in NYC for 15 years.
