T-ball at 10, football in high school, intramurals in college… let’s just say thank goodness for the camera, because I quickly realized I’m a much better sports photographer than athlete. (Turns out, running with a camera is way easier than running a 40-yard dash.)

Over the years, I’ve been hired to photograph everything from NBA and NFL games to little league baseball, adventure races, pro wakeboarding tours, motorcycle races, and high school track meets. Basically, if it involves sweat and a scoreboard, I’ve probably photographed it.

And yes, I once got hired to cover an NHL party where I ate Häagen-Dazs ice cream out of the Stanley Cup. Bucket list: checked. (Pun absolutely intended.)

I’ve traveled all over the country working with teams, companies, and sports brands, and honestly—what better way to spend the day than watching people push their limits while I just push a shutter button?

The camera I use for sports and action photography is the Nikon D5. Now, that might not mean much to you, but here’s the fun part: it can capture 11 frames per second. Translation? If someone blinks, trips, dunks, scores, or faceplants—I’ve got all the angles. Basically, if it moves, I can shoot it. (Sports, that is. Not your neighbor’s lawn gnome.)

Over the years, I’ve covered just about every type of action you can imagine: Denver Nuggets basketball, Denver Broncos football, Colorado Crush Arena Football, the World Pro Wakeboarding Tour, American Motorcycle Racing, the Colorado Crush Cheerleaders, World Superbike Racing, the Nissan Xterra Challenge, Playboy Golf, high school track meets, pro soccer, AVP volleyball, paintball tournaments—you name it, I’ve probably pointed a lens at it.

From end zones to volleyball nets, muddy obstacle courses to golf greens, I’ve been there—camera in hand—ready to catch the glory, the grit, and the occasional very awkward wipeout.

You’ve put in the time and poured out the sweat!  Eaten a river of chicken and an ocean of fish.  Everyone at the gym knows your name…  All the time and effort you put into that body – capture it before it’s gone!!!
