speed is only one part of the story.

Photographing the people, machines and moments that give motorsport its meaning.

I’m a Nashville-area photographer originally from Southern California, where cars and motorsport were less of a niche and more of the background noise of everyday life. At 38, I’ve spent 24 years behind the camera, with the last five focused on motorsport and the people, machines and stories surrounding it.

Before working trackside, I built my foundation across studio, product, environmental, architectural, and portrait photography. I’m trained and experienced in digital as well as 35mm, medium-format 120, and 4×5 film, giving me a technical range that influences how I approach everything from a driver portrait or commercial product shoot to cars moving at triple-digit speeds.

My work has taken me across North America for clients and around the world beyond the paddock. I’m always looking forward to the next assignment, the next stamp in the passport and, especially, the next circuit added to a list that is nowhere near finished.
