Two sports have always held my interest, Indy car racing and ATV racing.  Over the years I've had the great opportunity to photograph some of the best racers on the planet.


Auto Racing

Whether it is Indy Car, Grand Am or ALMS, I can't think of anything I have enjoyed shooting as much as world class auto racing.  From the first time I did it to the last time, the roar of engines and the thrill of speed has captivated me.

I've done several assignments for LAT Photographic, shooting primarily the Champ Car World Series before it merged with Indy Car.  I've shot at Long Beach Grand Prix, Portland Grand Prix,  the Toyota 500 at Fontana, Las Vegas Speedway and the Mid-Ohio Grand Prix.  I've shot Champ Cars, Toyota Atlantics, GT, Daytona Prototypes and even Drifting.  I love being in the action, whether in pit-lane or turn one, it is all thrilling.

ATV Racing

I can still remember the name of the first guy who ever won a national title on a quad.  Rodney Gentry, 1986, on Honda's now legendary Fourtrax 250R.  I was 12 and wrote to him once, and I can still tell you the thrill of receiving a letter back from him in the mail, complete with a packet of factory Honda stickers that I could attach to my measly little 125.  (For anyone viewing from Honda, I still to this day prefer Honda's for every thing from my cars to my last 2 racing quads)

Some photos in Dirt Wheels magazine in those years prompted me to take an interest in photographing the sport.  Of course, living in Idaho, not many of the top series come this way.  Flash foward many years, and my chance came when a national series came to Boise and one of my shots ended up on the cover of ATV Sport magazine  a short time later.  Talk about completing the circle.  The best part of it was, the shot was of a Number 1 rider, just like my childhood hero. I still like to shoot offroad racing when I can.
