I create automotive art prints for individual and business clients. My typical clients want to express their passion for sports cars, classic cars, motorcyles and airplanes. My tagline is YOUR PASSION - MY ART - YOUR LEGACY.

Today, I focus on two automotive fine art brands.

Signature Series, is commissioned custom fine art prints using light painting. A fully customized photographic experience designed around my client's vehicle. From concept to final print, each piece is crafted to create a lasting client legacy.

Velocity Impressions are crafted automotive artworks that capture the energy, motion, and emotion of performance machines.
Designed for collectors who want bold, dynamic imagery—without the custom commission process. They are created using my vision, photography, post processing and AI influences.

I am the former Chairman and President of the American Society of Photographers (ASP) and a former long time Professional Photographers of South Carolina (PPSC) Board member. In 2019, I was the PPSC Photographer of the Year. I was awarded the PPA Presidents Award in 2018 by PPSC. I won the ASP State Elite award in 2019, 2023 and 2025. I am a former three term PPA Councilor. I have been awarded both the Bronze Medalist and a Silver Medalist in the PPA International Photographic Competition.

I raced a 2016 Porsche GT4 Clubsport in Porsche Club Racing for 4 years. I retired from sports car racing after the 2025 season.
