He completed his bachelor’s degree in photojournalism from Southern Illinois University in Carbondale. He created many pieces on the surrounding St. Louis area as well as a number of pieces from the rural life in the rolling hills of southern Illinois. He also traveled extensively and worked as a photo assistant for a number of well-known photographers in the St. Louis area.
