About, so far...

Over the years I have worked in the woods, been a gas station attendant, a law school student, an army officer, a technician for newspapers and commercial printers, a graphic designer, an art director, an art educator, and manager for a nonprofit. But it is as a photographer that I have navigated my way through the world.
