Thanks for checking me out & I would like to share a bit about me personally & professionally.

To sum me up, I'm a Classic Photographers' "caffeinated photographer", along with a BeSomebody Ambassador, insatiable wanderluster, philanthropist, passionate coffee ninja, educator, and an incurable music junkie who is photographing weddings in Minneapolis, St. Paul, and throughout Minnesota, Wisconsin & Iowa.

My story dissected is more like; I’m a 2nd generation photographer who's been doing his best to keep not just the "dream" alive as a professional photographer, but be an inspiration for others, sometimes through sharing stories and sometimes with movie quotes. Which for me, movies are a big part of my life. There are some quotes I hang tightly to that inspire me like: "Rise & rise again, until lambs become lions", "Pain heals, chicks dig scars, glory lasts forever" and "A man can change his stars."

Speaking of lambs... I am a self-proclaimed foodie. I absolutely love a huge platter of nachos, and my favourite restaurant in the USA that serves up the best nachos is Fred's in Huntington Beach, California. In fact, when I lived in Southern California - I had so many client meetings there, that the staff at the restaurant thought I was a secret shopper. LOL!

I'm also a HUGE fan of coffee and one of my favourite spots to go to in Minneapolis for coffee is: Uncommon Grounds. They have the best Chai teas, and what's crazy is I don't like Chai tea.

That's a bit about who I am personally, but professionally - I basically live my life through the lens, with a camera in my hand at all times. My friends and the team with Classic Photographers think I sleep with it under my pillow. I don't, but it's fun to let them think that!

As a creative; I'm an award-winning international photographer, filmmaker, Director of Photography, and educator who loves working with exciting people people who have an endless zeal for life.

You may have seen me on TV as well! I've been featured on celebrity planner & designer: David Tutera's "My Fair Wedding" and WeTV's "Platinum Weddings". PLUS! As a die-hard "Duranie" - I had my dream come true and photographed Duran Duran for two years. But then on the front side of the camera, I modelled for Ralph Lauren before became such a huge fan of nachos & Newcastle Brown Ales.

If you're an international couple, you may have seen my work in your country. I've had my photography published in 4 languages in the countries I've photographed from USA to England, France, Switzerland, Netherlands, Germany, Canada, Mexico, India, Japan, Singapore & Costa Rica.

Thank you for "checking me out" and I look forward to our caffeinated paths crossing in the future - cheers! :-)
