For the past six and a half years I have been learning and competing in high power rifle, USPSA, and Trap Shooting and in this time I have developed a love for the shooting sports. Through my passion for the shooting sports, I have begun writing articles for Junior Shooters Magazine. Some of my notable articles include one about the NRA Youth Education Summit and one about the High Power Rifle National Matches here in Ohio. While writing for Junior Shooters I was also selected to be an Established Contributing Author and in addition to writing, I was selected and later attended the 2018 NRA Youth Education Summit. Because of my love for writing, I would enjoy being a member of POMA and learning more about writing opportunities and potential networking opportunities in the outdoor industry.

From there I continued in the outdoor industry as and Art Director for Park Tool which makes the tools for the bicycle world in White Bear Minnesota. The whole time I have had full-time careers in the outdoor world I continued to freelance for many different companies in the industry. Everything from design books, shooting photos, creating Brands, building packaging. One of the books I designed and shot the photos for was written by Michael Martin. We built Minnesota Permit to Carry a Firearm book and then Gander Mountain adopted the book as part of their firearms instruction as well as the USCCA. Which is now called Concealed Carry and Home Defense Fundamentals. This project is what had lead me working for the USCCA as the Creative Director and Lead photographer for Concealed Carry Magazine as my current job. I have also over the recent years had the privilege of rebranding Smith and Wesson’s holding company into American Outdoor Brand Company as well as rebranding ATK to Vista Outdoor. And many more projects.

    I have been working in the Outdoor industry for the past 6 years. My work as a photographer and videographer sends me all over and I am lucky enough to work mostly freelance. I do run a small production company which I use to run all my video projects through as usually those productions require a team to pull off. We also act as a production team for a couple of agencies also in the outdoor realm. I personally do freelance tournament photography as well as help film tournament fishing television shows when my schedule allows. My photography is mostly used in marketing campaigns, magazine articles, product catalogues, websites and social media. My video work has been used for several major networks including Fox Sports and ESPN. We have a few commercials out there in the wild as well as more youtube content than you can shake a stick at.
