For more than fifteen years, Mike has practiced professional portrait and wedding photography in Jacksonville Florida. Highly respected in the professional community and a leader in the field, Mike's skill level is truly second to none; not only in photography but Adobe Photoshop as well. Mike founded The North Florida PhotoShop User's Group in September of 1998 and holds the elected office of President. When not photographing, Mike shares his talent by teaching studio and location portraiture workshops, as well as various levels of PhotoShop training. More than a few hundred photographers have come to him for his easy to understand ability to teach. Since 1991 he has been a member of the Professional Photographers Society of North Florida (PPSNF) and holds a seat on the board of directors. He’s also an active member of Florida Professional Photographers (FPP), Professional Photographers of America (PPA), and the National Association of PhotoShop Professionals (NAPP). Anyone can claim to be a Professional Photographer, but Mike is one of the less than 3% who are an accredited Certified Professional Photographer.
