Mark & Michele

I realized at the very young age of 10 I didn’t have the talent to play “The Next Level”. At the age of 13 I found myself pacing the sidelines, much like a coach, only with a camera in my hands. Little did I know this dream would become my work, my PASSION!

Upon graduating Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, I was chosen to train with Sports Illustrated. The experience was out of this world!

For Michele, photography was an escape from the sports she played…Unlike me, she had the talent to play “The Next Level”. Michele played basketball, soccer, and softball at Rosemount High School. Michele went on to play college basketball at Wisconsin-LaCrosse.

Michele and I were married in January of 2000. We have 3 beautiful daughters-Jordan, Jenna, and Jessica. Yes, they also are full of PASSION!!
