What you may want to know is I am laid back and easy to get along with. I am creative and great at solving problems, two essential things for turning your captured moments into art. My friends think I am reliable, trustworthy, creative and smart. I see most everything through a lens and even in the rare instance that there is no camera with me, I am thinking about the light, the shadow, and mostly, the possibilities.

If I could sum up my life in one page I would. That not being possible, suffice it to say I have been in love with photography for more than 20 years. I developed my first roll of black and white film in the darkroom made out of my bathroom. And before that I was the geeky little kid with the 110 camera always around my neck. I learned both photography and design the old school way, no computers, which meant having to know your craft. I built on that solid skill and combined it with my love affair of fresh, artistic style and have never looked back. In 1990 I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design and Photography and have since worked fulltime at both, which is like not working at all, because I love them too much to consider it "work". I don't think you're ever too good, or too old, to learn something new and I take pride in always working to keep my photography modern and meaningful.
