James grew up going to heavy metal and rock shows in Chicago beginning in the early 1990s. Those experiences shaped his dedication and appreciation for live music. Following college at the University of Dayton, he met his wife at the Millions Cafe in Mt. Lookout and remains in Cincinnati to this day raising a family. James has been taking pictures as long as he can remember, and shares that passion with both his father and older brother who are also photographers. He is always looking for ways to support the Cincinnati music scene and is passionate about supporting local bands. When he isn't spending time with family and friends, you can find him at a local record store or at one of the regional live music venues attending a show.
