Bio
I received my first camera from my Uncle Bill when I was in 8th grade. In 9th grade I took my first photography class. I put the hand me down 35mm Minolta to use right away. I won a couple of ribbons at the local fair that year. I quickly grew up and entered into the Navy after high school. I continued to shoot massive amounts of film with my travels overseas. 

As I entered over thirteen countries in less than four years, I found the photographs from my travels too not only connect myself to my past, but with my family when I would visit them. My photographs would tell the story of the things I witnessed and the people I meet along the way. They described the varieties of foods, and also the different animals I saw. For me, I guess showing people a replica of my life, through a frame in time, was a lot easier than describing it, and it gave the viewer more information that I could possibly describe in that point in time.

In this present day and age, I choose the path of photography as a career. I no longer want to explain my life through the frame. I want to show the truth that’s out there waiting to be captured one frame at a time. To capture reality moving in time is almost like the first magic trick you ever saw. It makes you wonder and think, and question yourself in the sense, “Did that really just happen.”
