I am the Lead Photographer for The Dispatch/Rock Island Argus. The D/A serves approx. 50,000 readers in the Illinois Quad Cities - primarily Moline, Rock Island and East Moline. We also publish Iowa's largest weekly newspaper - The Leader - which is circulated to Davenport and Bettendorf on the Iowa side of the Mississippi River. For you geography/trivia buffs the Q-C Area is comprised of Moline and Rock Island on the Illinois side and Davenport and Bettendorf on the Iowa side. In my father's day the region was refered to as the Tri-Cities. Click Quad Cities for more area information.
My web page is a collection of both my professional work and some fun stuff. The serious photojournalism speaks for itself and the fun stuff includes things like Maggie's Home Page and some images from my travels to England, Alaska, Italy and the Caribbean. Please take some time to look at my portfolio and the Picture of the Week (hopefully I have updated it recently). If you love dogs check out our lovable Golden Retriever's webpage and if you love music check out the top ten lists. I hope you find something you like.
