After H.S. I went to college for 2 years.
Then got laid off from the West Bend Art Museum where I worked for 3 years as Security, Maintenance, and Webmaster.
However I found out after graduating that I had a talent for art. I began teaching myself how to draw portraits. I began using pencil, charcoals, then pastels.
I soon moved all my art work in to the Old General Store Studio in Newburg, WI.
I then got interested in 3D Stereographic Photography and did some research and designed my own camera and began taking 3D pictures. I then got my photography in to local art museums and was even juried into the Grafton Art Post Gallery 6 times for stereo photography.
Then I had a friend that was an inspiring model and she needed photographs done. So I redesigned my whole studio for photography and began investing in photography equipment and a high end camera.
Then began once again teaching myself everything I needed to know to become a portrait photographer. Theres no better way then trial and error.
Soon I began getting better and starting working with hobbyist and professional models from the area. Taking advantage of every opportunity that came my way.
In 2007 I was chosen #64 as 101 Most Influential People of Washington County in the category of Art for my photography.
I then became a freelance photographer for MilwaukeeNights.com taking pictures in the night clubs.
Soon after I was chosen to take the place of a photographer for a popular gentlemens club in Milwaukee and Juneau for their special events.
I now work with models from the area who need pictures for their portfolios as TFP (Trade or Time for prints).
I've also done a couple weddings for friends from H.S.
But as a normal job I work for Time Warner Cable as a service/install repair tech. Where I have worked for the past 3 years.
