More than the biggest play.
I photograph Twinsburg High School sports to preserve the action, emotion and atmosphere surrounding the games. The winning goal matters. So does everything happening around it.

WHY I KEEP SHOWING UP
A high school season moves fast.
At the beginning, everyone thinks there is plenty of time. Then senior night arrives, the final home game ends and four years are suddenly over.
The photographs become more important after that. They bring back the rain, cold nights, packed gyms, student sections, celebrations and disappointments.
That is why I keep coming back.
MY COMMUNITY
Twinsburg Is Home
Most of my sports photography centers on Twinsburg High School.
I live in the community, and my children graduated from Twinsburg in the Classes of 2020 and 2022. I have watched these teams, schools and families for years. I know many of the people along the sidelines and in the stands, even when we have never officially met.
I occasionally photograph other schools and events, but Twinsburg remains the center of this project.
This is my community, and I want it to have a visual record of the athletes, teams and traditions that pass through it.
THE WHOLE STORY
More Than the Big Play
Of course I want the game-winning goal, the diving save, the difficult catch and the celebration that follows.
But the most dramatic photograph is not always the most meaningful one.
Sometimes it is a coach talking quietly with an athlete after a mistake. Sometimes it is teammates laughing during warmups or the bench reacting before the crowd understands what happened.
Those moments never appear in a box score. Years later, they may be the ones people remember best.
Parents Should Be Able to Watch the Game
Parents come to an event because they want to watch their child compete—not experience the entire game through a phone screen.
Sports photography is difficult. The action moves quickly, the lighting is often bad and the best positions are rarely available from the stands.
I have the equipment, experience and access to make those photographs. Sharing them allows families to remain part of the event while it is happening and return to those moments afterward.
That matters to me.
THE
PHOTOS
ARE FREE.
Available at No Charge
I volunteer my time. I am not paid by the school, athletic department or a news organization.
My sports photographs are available for athletes and families to view and download at no charge.
Free does not mean the work costs nothing. There are cameras, lenses, computers, software, website expenses, travel and many hours spent sorting, editing and publishing photographs.
I continue doing it because I believe the photographs should be accessible to the athletes and families represented in them.
Downloading and Sharing Photographs
Athletes and families are welcome to download and share my sports photographs for personal use.
If you post a photograph publicly, I ask that you include a simple credit:

The images do not appear by accident. Someone stood in the rain, sat at the end of the court or spent the evening behind a computer to create them. Credit is a small request, and I think it is a reasonable one.
Supporting the Photography
The photographs are free whether anyone contributes or not.
If you would like to help offset the costs of maintaining the websites, replacing equipment and continuing the coverage, you can support the project through Buy Me a Coffee.
A contribution is appreciated, but it is never required.
Photographer Identification and Media Information
Event staff, coaches and administrators can visit my separate Media page for identification, credentials, contact information and details about event coverage.
SEE YOU AT THE GAME
Say Hello
If you see me near the sideline, behind a goal, along the baseline or at the far end of the court, please say hello.
I may look serious because I am watching the play and waiting for the next moment—not because I am trying to be antisocial.
One of the best parts of doing this has been meeting the athletes, parents, coaches, alumni and supporters who give the photographs their meaning.
I will see you on the sidelines. Go Tigers!
