I am a husband, father, pediatric dentist, university professor, and photographer based in Minnesota. My photography and digital art has been featured internationally by Apple, Adobe Lightroom, Street Photography International, FUJILOVE Magazine, and many others.
I enjoy teaching others about my approach to photography. I have 22 years of teaching and public speaking experience as a training director, teacher, and a national leader in interprofessional health education initiatives. I welcome the opportunity to lead workshops, teach individual and group seminars, conduct portfolio reviews, and facilitate small group coaching calls. I can be reached via email or direct message on Instagram if you would like to collaborate on your next project.
