I am a professional aviation photographer based in Dayton, Ohio, the Birthplace of Aviation. My work captures the essence of aviation at the Dayton Air Show, Dayton International Airport, John Glenn Columbus International Airport, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, ORD, PHX, LAX, PIT, DTW, and aviation museums across the country. I was also a special events aviation photographer at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force.
My photography has been featured in various digital and print publications. I am available for hire as an aviation photographer and can also document Air Force retirement ceremonies. Most recently I have been hired as an aviation sales photographer by aircraft brokers. I am also on retainer with a charter jet company based in Cincinnati.
