The man who worked for President Bush

President George W. Bush appointed Dr. David Brailer as the first National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, and he served in this role from May 2004 through May 2006. Dr. Brailer oversaw the President's Executive Order, which called for widespread deployment of health information technology within ten years to help realize substantial improvements in safety and efficiency.

I was contacted by Jürgen Mantzke the creative director to photographer Dr. Brailer for a magazine and had only 30 minuets to shoot due to his busy schedule. Over the years, I've discovered that one of my greatest strengths is the ability to shoot fast and work under pressure. After scouting around the location, I came up with several ideas and delivered a good variety of images for the magazine in less than 20 minuets.

I asked how it was working with the President. Dr. Brailer said the President was hilarious and loved to tell great jokes when he was not in the office, and flying with the President on Air Force was an extraordinary experience.
