I've been a photographer at The Star-Ledger in Newark, N.J. since early 2000. My main focus for several years has been studio photography including photo illustrations and shooting sports. I previously worked for The Cincinnati Enquirer, North Hills News Record and Everett (Wash.) Herald. I'm blessed to be a photojournalist; the people and places I've photographed over the past 20 years, here and abroad, will be a part of me for the rest of my life. It's truly a beautiful feeling to be allowed into someone's life, even for a moment, to make photographs and share them with the public. I was part The Star-Ledger team who was awarded the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News Reporting for the resignation of New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey. In 2002, I shared The Dart Award with reporter Matt Reilly, for a story about a Siberian orphan who was beaten and froze to death in the custody of his adoptive parents in central New Jersey. I'm a member of The Dart Society, National Press Photographers, New York Press Photographers and New Jersey Press Photographers Associations. I live with my wife Dana and our 2 children in Lawrenceville, N.J.

After spending a little over nine weeks following the New Jersey Devils through the Stanley Cup Playoffs and Final, my first job back was to shoot Wednesday Night Fights at the Robert Treat Hotel in Newark, NJ. June 13, 2012. Now if they just had hockey uniforms on I’d be happy. Check out more images from the boxing matches.
