Extreme performance. With extreme experience.
Photographer.
I always felt photojournalism was like receiving a gift from a stranger, who allows me to enter their life and capture their moment with them briefly. Without that access, without that permission, I would never get those photographs or be able to solicit change through the power of photojournalism.
Short Stories.
It all begins with an idea. In my case, I wanted to put to words the fantastic images I was capturing around the world. Storytelling is an excellent way to connect, entertain, and pass on important information. Writing helped me tell a complete back story to my photographs and share it with the world.
Book Author.
It was finding my father’s WWII prisoner of war diary changed my outlook on life. Being captured in Normandy and forced brutally to walk the 825 miles to a German Prison camp called Stalag VIIA and then being incarcerated for ten long months was no small task. It compelled me to write Hidden Hell and lead two other successful books, my third with National Geographic.
For over five decades, I’ve used my camera to tell stories that matter—often in places most people never see, among people too often overlooked. From riding fire trucks in Quincy as a 22-year-old in 1975 to returning fifty years later to capture what’s changed (and what hasn’t), I’ve dedicated my lens to those who serve others—quietly, relentlessly, and with heart.
Portraits of Service is my ongoing project—a space where image meets story, where the everyday becomes extraordinary. My work has spanned 70+ countries, published by National Geographic and others, but it’s always been rooted in the same mission: to honor people through truth, empathy, and the power of presence.
