I am a freelance sports photographer living in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. I was born and raised in Petal, Mississippi, where I graduated from Petal High in 1981. I graduated from the University of Southern Mississippi with a BS degree in Architectural Engineering Technology in 1986. I have had an interest in photography since the age of 12. I started photographing sports, mainly motor sports, when I was in high school. While at Southern Miss, I completed a course in photojournalism, which really sparked a passion for photography in me.
