My photojournalism career has included staff positions with newspapers in Florida and California as well as independent assignments for a variety of newspapers, magazines and online publications. I've also worked as a business columnist, copy editor and illustrator for newspapers in Florida. I'm now a San Diego-based contract photographer for
ZUMA Press. I have a San Diego Police Department media credential and a current US passport. I'm a member of the National Press Photographers Association. Before beginning my media career I served in the US Navy, flying as a sensor operator in S-3A Viking aircraft from USS Carl Vinson.
