Born May 1969, Niles, MI USA. I graduated from Kalamazoo College in 1992 with a BA in English and a concentration in Japanese, created rock operas with band The Sleestacks, recorded three albums, singles & EPs and toured Europe and the US with Fortune & Maltese, became a voting member of The Grammy Awards, sang on CBS Saturday Morning, danced in the movie High Fidelity (Im in the green shirt next to Cusack), joined the American Society of Media Photographers, and published four photobooks (see rangefound.com). Eventually, I forgot my Japanese.

I photograph what pops out from the background. People that move me, places that excite me and situations that speak volumes in their silence. Objects that rust very loudly.

Out there in the street of it all, each person indulges their moment; folks at lunch with time running out, late for meetings, going to the bank, lost in thought, hungry. Long after the photo is printed it all looks so silly. What was important then is completely different now.

And that's the transformation I live for. The reason I take photos. To feel the before and after.
