A strange-but-true story about NFL Hall of Famer Terry Bradshaw using Tom Brady’s name in the 70s resurfaced on March 3 and one of my photos of the former Steelers QB was used by Sports Illustrated in their coverage
Army photo featured by Washington Post in bowl analysis
One of my photos featuring Army football head coach Jeff Monken celebrating with his players was published as the lead image in John Feinstein’s Dec. 21 Washington Post column examining the college football bowl system and how it led to Army being briefly left without a date to the dance this past season (Army eventually replaced Tennessee in the Liberty …
Monken photo featured in ‘Athletic’ profile for Kansas coach search
Army football head coach Jeff Monken was in the mix for the coaching vacancy at Kansas last month and The Athletic used one of my photos from the foggy, cold Army-Navy Game at West Point for its look at the candidates (the job ultimately went to Buffalo’s Lance Leipold and we at Army are glad our coach is still around).

Washington Post publishes Trump portrait in December column
Michael Gerson’s Dec. 16, 2019 opinion column in The Washington Post featured one of my photos of President Trump from the most recent Army-Navy Game.

Waterfalls, rainbows and sun on Kaua’i
Kaua’i, the oldest of the Hawaiian islands, is as close to paradise as you could imagine. Yes, it’s expensive, the weather is a little hit or miss and, of course, it’s pretty far away from everything, but it’s also an island you’ll never want to leave. I had the opportunity to visit last month thanks to Koloa Landing Resort in …
Behind the scenes: Army takes on Ohio State
COLUMBUS, Ohio — I’m again traveling with Army football this season as the Black Knights look to build on the momentum of a huge 2016 season that included a win over Navy and a victory in the Heart of Dallas Bowl. West Point, with two wins in its first two games this year, took off for Ohio State on Sept. …
Big Island magic in Hawaii
The Big Island of Hawaii offers a totally different world from what tourists are used to in O’ahu, and I got to experience the island for two weeks in December. Hawaii Island — more commonly just called the Big Island — is rugged, rural and remote. There are few roads, fewer people and fewer towns, but sometimes that’s exactly what …
