Favorite Thing About Racing Photography: My goal is to get shots that the race fan may not get to see. Getting to create relationships with drivers and teams is especially nice. I’ve learned so much from guys like Josh James and Michael Boggs. It’s nice to bounce ideas off fellow photogs. I get a lot of inspiration from other shooters; I just put my own spin on it. Sometimes it works and other times not so much. My wife Kiley is my biggest supporter. She’ll stay up waiting for me to get home from a race. BUT...my most favorite thing is getting to share my passion with my son Cannon. He’s a better photographer than me if I’m being honest and he inspires me to get better everyday. Outside of race cars, what do you like to photograph: I’m a huge fan of photographing

It’s seriously exhilarating.
