About:

I am a documentary / reportage style photographer.

I have traveled extensively in Europe and Africa and am currently working on a long term project photographing the work of the Salesians of Don Bosco. Thus far, the project has brought me to Poland, Kenya, Italy and Haiti.

I am also currently working several other projects. These include showing different aspects of Italian-American life, the story of a sled-hockey team, urban renewal in Orange, NJ, and documenting the lives of golden glove boxers who are transitioning to professional careers.
