I’ve been working as a photojournalist in Illinois since 1992 at the (Peoria) Journal Star, a daily newspaper covering the city of Peoria and its surrounding communities.
Before that, I interned at the Charleston Gazette, a newspaper in the capital city of West Virginia, at the (Warren) Tribune-Chronicle, a small paper in a suburb of Youngstown, Ohio, and at my adopted hometown paper, the Parkersburg News and Sentinel.
And in ancient history, I graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Ohio University School of Visual Communication in 1991.
