I have been driven in two basic directions in life. First, I have a passion for medicine. I became a paramedic and have worked in the field for almost 20 years. From being a metro paramedic, to working offshore in the oilfield, and even serving as a combat medic and flight medic in the U.S. Army during three combat tours. I have spent most of my adult life serving the public and healing the injured.

My second passion has been in photography. Since I was in high school, and in some aspects before that, I have always enjoyed capturing images and seeing the world from a new perspective. Recently, I found it has offered me a singular focus and a way to step out of my daily life. Photography has allowed me to capture beauty in life, even in some of the harshest areas of the world. I have found focusing on capturing that perfect image, the way I perceive it, gives me an inner peace and allows me to communicate how I perceive the world to others.

I enjoy the art of waiting in perfect silence, out in nature, for the world to align itself in that one perfect moment and then capturing that moment. I work on bringing my unique view so others can experience that fleeting moment and hopefully enjoy the experience. The Aurora Borealis to the craggy mountains of Afghanistan, I have captured images from all the places I have lived and traveled. My goal is to travel more extensively, and to even more remote places on this planet, to find those fleeting moments that pass in the blink
