I put this page together for the many people who ask to see my |
||
Sports/Action Photo's and Graphics. I have been credentialed to |
||
cover Local, State and some Midwestern sports events. |
||
I then publish the photos here, on my website for publications and fan |
||
viewing. In 1998 with starting this web page, I had a chance to |
||
showcase my sports photographs of the G B PACKERS when |
||
they came into training camp and while seated in the stands at the |
||
games. I enjoyed taking these kinds of pictures and wanted to |
||
continue doing it. I then went on to become a photographer for the |
||
IFL's G.B BOMBERS and the IBA's WI BLAST and |
||
Baseball's G.B. BILLY'S. I have photographed such teams as, |
||
AF2's PEORIA PIRATES, LINCOLN LIGHTNING, and the |
||
G.B. BLIZZARD. I also covered Hockey's AHL's |
||
MILWAUKEE ADMIRALS, USHL's GB GAMBLERS, |
||
and colleges such as UW FOX VALLEY, and UW OSHKOSH |
||
UWGB, WISCONSIN BADGERS, and Michigan Tech. |
