About Us

I received my Bachelor of Arts degree from the School of Communication Studies at
Bowling Green State University with an emphasis in photography in 1983.
In the fall of 1983, I began teaching at Theodore Roosevelt High School in Kent, teaching
subjects in speech, drama, journalism, and photography.
In 1988, I was awarded my Master of Arts from Kent State University in Educational
Technology.
I began teaching photography full-time in September, 1999. Our Photography III students
exhibit their work locally, at coffee houses, churches, banks,and art galleries, with 25 solo
exhibits installed in local businesses in 2003-2004 alone.
At the urging of Cass Mayfield, a friend and owner of McKay Bricker Gallery & Framing in
Kent, I started shooting pictures of historic Kent scenes in 2004, adapting them to look
like watercolor paintings and printing them on watercolor paper for sale.
In the fall of 2005, I printed 2 of my 3 new releases on 100% cotton canvas and also
began offering note cards of my images for sale at the gallery. In addition, I was invited to
be a contributing artist in the Kevin Coleman Foundation benefit and hope to continue my
involvement as long as possible.
In May of 2005, Images of Kent was featured in an exhibit of work entitled "Images of
Northeast Ohio," along with work from four other area artists~Stephen Hughes, Bob
Mayfield, Jennifer Eddy and Ken Muenzenmayer.

I enjoy living in Kent and with my wife of almost 24 years and our three children ages 19,
16, and 12.
