A Little History

Originally from Mount Kisco, New York, I grew up in Youngstown, Ohio, where I attended Ursuline High School and Youngstown State University. While working towards my undergraduate degree in music, I played trumpet and arranged music for rhythm and blues bands. In the early 1980s, I began traveling extensively with my first professional camera, refining my photography skills by capturing publicity shots and portraits of the bands and musicians I encountered.

As the founder of Keynote Media Group, a public relations and marketing firm, photography became a vital component of my business, allowing me to create compelling images for marketing campaigns on local, national, and international levels.

In the Fall of 2024, I showcased my one-man photo exhibition entitled FACADES at The Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown. Additionally, my work was selected for the Butler’s Area Artists Exhibition in both 2022 and 2024.

Currently, I am actively engaged as a marketing consultant, corporate film producer, and dedicated, passionate  freelance photographer
