I relocated to Minneapolis in the late ’70s for a career and education. I secured certificates in application programming along the way. Starting with my ’85 honeymoon to Hawaii and stepping up from an Olympus pocket camera to a Minolta 9000, I found I loved capturing the beauty of the islands. Later, with three active kids deeply involved in high school sports and activities, my skills at capturing the family visuals became an education in photography. I began including college D1 football and D3 basketball and countless high school and college events, and weddings. Meeting new people and especially couples about to be married, I much appreciate sharing that day with them, and always make sure I’m capturing the day for them to the best of my abilities.
