Bio
The aircraft was a modified B29 with part of the skin removed and replaced with still and motion picture cameras. My dad and the crew, still and motion picture guys, orbited and captured a series of hydrogen bomb test photos from Bikini atoll on film. It was 1956. Twenty years later, the Air Force declassified the shots, and they were carefully hung on our wall.
I was hooked. I wanted to be one of those guys.
Since leaving college I have been flown around the world to shoot multiple Formula 1 races, the Indy and Daytona 500, and the America’s Cup in Newport, Rhode Island. I’ve been a professional alpine ski coach with the Austrian, Canadian and U.S. National Ski Teams including in the 1998 Nagano Olympics where I met my wife. I’ve raced Porsche 911’s, driven across the United States over 20 times, climbed the “Three Passes” trek in Nepal in Winter, landed an F35B fighter jet on an aircraft carrier and became a father to my talented daughter who was born at the Salt Lake City Olympics.
I live in Colorado and I look for and celebrate dedication in every aspect of life, whether it's an Olympic athlete or my English Labradors Zubie & Tux.
