C. Thomas Hardin and Mary C. Hardin Documentary Photojournalism Scholarship
Ball State University
Student

My curiosity drives me to find and tell great stories. I specialize in outdoor, environmental and sports work for editorial and commercial clients. Photography has taken me down mine shafts, up rock faces and into the cold waters of Alaska all in the name of passion and work. I’ve photographed NFL, NHL, NBA, MLB and Professional Soccer games for various publications. I solve the need for great visuals while bringing empathy, timeliness and dedication to my work. Additionally I use my part 107 (drone) license as a tool to aid me in creating stories from a different perspective.

Prior to freelance I was a staff photographer at The Dallas Morning News. I’ve also spent time working at The Denver Post, The Kansas City Star and the San Antonio Express-News.
