OPHOTOS

My photographic journey began as a teen, reading magazines and studying their photos. At age 15, I worked two jobs, saving for my first Nikon. After high school, I attended PSU (Pennsylvania State University), where I was employed by UPI (United Press International) as a stringer, providing State College coverage and campus features. After college, I worked at a photo lab where I was certified operator of one of the first video printers in the country, printing all of the pro studio's work... I was then hired to photograph and print for local golf tournaments and the tri-state PGA, where I was fortunate to spend time with Arnold Palmer.
