I create photographic images because I enjoy doing it; I (really) want no other reason for it.

My images are an expression of how I see the world around me. My personal life experiences have shaped my understanding of life and the values I place upon it. Being a portrait photographer has taught me a great deal about people, frailty, and trust.

As a U.S. combat veteran, I've learned that human relationships are precious and temporary. Photography has exposed me to countless relationships and experiences I might not have otherwise experienced. For that, I'm most thankful.
