I am a husband and a dad who is all about capturing God's beautiful creation through my lens. Born and raised in Oklahoma before living in NW Arkansas for 20 years, I am now based out of the NKY/Greater Cincinnati area.

I am blessed to have been given the opportunity to turn a hobby into my passion. I remember as a young kid going to Disney World for the first time with an old Kodak camera and too many rolls of film to count. I still believe that's where my love of photography was born. I always wanted to create art since I was little as well. My earliest recollection of that was sketching cartoon characters on paper and selling them for a dollar. I've always loved turning something I have seen into a piece of art. Nothing has allowed me to share what I visualize, to create, more than my camera.

Looking at a photograph, some people see a piece of paper. A souvenir from a trip. A random moment among a million others. But I don't see a photograph as just a record of time. I see it as a piece of time. Something I managed to hold on to as everything else kept moving. A photograph can become more valuable with every passing year. Because its value isn't in what it shows us. It's in everything it gives back to us. Because when you are a picture person, you take pictures for people who aren't thinking about needing them yet. 

 

"A good photograph is one that communicates a fact, touches the heart and leaves the viewer a changed person for having seen it." - Irving Penn
