I am retired with 34 years as a firefighter/paramedic in a large metropolitan city and am taking on my second passion of photojournalism.
My many years of experience in public safety allows me to be extremely comfortable in high stress environments.Enjoying photography since early adulthood, I have been shooting news images since 2005 and my photos are published on sites such as Wall Street Journal, CNN, Money, as well as print publications.
