I live in South Dakota. God's country.

I grew up on a farm near Letcher. We raised Angus cattle, corn and oats, and from an early age I learned to appreciate hard work. I'm a bit of a workaholic yet today, but instead of long hours working the ground, I'm working the light at both ends of the day.

While my favorite people and places are here on the Great Plains, I work for a variety of clients who send me to all corners of America. I once toiled in the newspaper business, but left that world for a freelance career and never looked back. It's been a great ride. I photograph assignments for all types of clients, but most of my work remains embedded in the land -- whether it's for agricultural, energy or conservation clients in both the corporate and editorial worlds. But pretty much every category is fair game.

Shooting video is a growing passion for me, and you'll start seeing some examples of my motion work on here soon. As for drone stills and video, I am FAA 107 certified and I love to fly.

On the homefront, my wife and three kids keep me grounded. And busy. But there's time for you too! Shoot me an email or give me a call and we can talk about your project.
