Mj began his journey into the photographic world in a rather unplanned, unorthodox manner. Mj had no formal education or training as a photographer. His original career aspiration was to become an Architect. But the Vietnam War developed Mj into a U.S. Navy photographer, altering his life’s course. Mj’s minds eye was turned from creating architecture on velum, to capturing and creating images on film and cinematography in a highly successful career in commercial and professional sports photography and a freelance cinematographer with NFL Films. Mj’s photographic portfolio spanned over three decades, encompassing all professional and college sports, and dozens of company and corporate clientele. Mj’s love for art also inspired an additional career designing and owning successful art galleries.
​
But the lure of the cameras combined with Mj’s love and passion for the outdoors drew him to return to photography upon retiring from the art gallery world. 
Today, Mj’s pursuits consist of outdoor photographic challenges, capturing familiar and not so familiar subjects through a fresh, redirected eye, seeking out that one captivating photographic image.
