I have been taking pictures as a hobby for over 30 years. As an example, the photo to the left of Virginia Wade was taken on Center Court, Wimbledon in 1983, using a Canon 35mm film camera, back when I didn’t really know what I was doing. Over the years I have had the opportunity to photograph many other sports, ranging from youth recreational to professional teams and players, and to use a wide variety of photographic equipment. My images have appeared in several publications, web sites, and on TV.
I also have experience as a player and coach. My wife and I both played Division I college basketball, and I coached at the high school and college levels. My father, mother, brother, and sister were all collegiate athletes. However, we have no pictures from our sports careers that we could share with our families. Nothing. We made sure that problem was fixed for our children. We have a photographic record of their participation in sports that were a big part of their lives as they grew up.
I "retired" from corporate life a few years ago and am now doing something I enjoy while also helping people to save memories of themselves, their friends and family that can be cherished and shared.
