My interest in this business started when I was just a kid. It started innocently enough when I began watching professional wrestling as an alternative to Saturday morning cartoon shows. Little did I know how much of an effect that would have on me!

Later on in high school, my friends that I hung out with were all into professional wrestling, so I began to attend WWF and WCW shows with them. Despite heavy opposition from my parents, I embraced wrestling with a passion. I loved the athleticism, the way that the performers in the ring held the crowd in their hands, how the matches told a story.

While in college, I began attending Tri-State Wrestling shows...the predecessor to ECW. I was thrilled to have men like Tony Stetson, Michael Bruno and Johnny Hot Body brawling all around me without guardrails to hold them back. I also had the opportunity to see a younger version of Mick Foley as Cactus Jack...before he made it big in WWF. It was quite a thrill!

I began to attend independent wrestlng shows, as I could soon not get enough of pro wrestling. The independent workers always seemed to work harder than the big name guys...always wanting to please the fans more. I appreciated that and began attending as many indy shows as I could.

I soon began attending ECW shows...always sitting front row. I began taking pictures at the shows to remember the good times I was having and to show other people what the shows were all about. I found out, quite unexpectedly, that I was good at photography when people that I showed my pictures to would tell me how good they were. :-)

Front row seating was nice, but I wanted more. I wanted to get right in the thick of the action. So, I asked a few of the indy promoters if I could shoot ringside...and they gave me the go ahead. I was amazed at the power of the camera...quickly realizing that the wrestlers would just stop what they were doing and pose for me when they saw me focusing in on them!

Soon I was attending shows just about every weekend...sometimes two shows a weekend. I took pictures at East Coast Wrestling Association, Pennsylvania Championship Wrestling, National Wrestling Alliance and Liberty All-Star Wrestling shows, as well as various other smaller indy shows.

Occassionally I would sell some of my photos to Pro Wrestling Illustrated, which thrilled me to no end! I even began selling some of my pictures at the indy shows.

Most recently, I have been taking pictures for a magazine called New Wave Wrestling. While that has been fun, I wanted something more stimulating. So I've also begun to do interviews for them. I have been lucky enough to interview such personalities as Chris Candito, Bobby Heenan, Tammy Sytch and Mae Young, among others.

Currently, I am a photographer for New Jersey's Combat Zone Wrestling.

I enjoy what I'm doing and I look forward to having many more years of fun in the wrestling business!
