About Me

My work covers a wide range of interests including outdoor photography, sports, and life style. In one sentence, I love to have fun. In addition to my passion for photography, I also have intense interests that include marathon and triathlon competitions with twenty marathons including two Boston Marathon finishes. I also have completed a dozen or so sprint and Olympic distance triathlons and a Full Ironman. 

I feel strongly that passion and desire drives excellence. I'm excited about photography and should I have the opportunity to work for you, I want you to have as much fun having your photograph taken as I am having fun taking your photograph. Your photographs are important to you and I know that capturing those images and editing them to be exactly to your liking is the key to my success and your happiness. My best outcome is a completely satisfied client and I am committed to delivering a quality product. Please email or call me to discuss your particular project and requirements. I will guarantee competitive rates and a quality product. 

Through the grace of God, My Family, and My Friends, I am a cancer survivor

My wife and three wonderful children - Lorraine, Linzey, Lauren, and Collin. To say that I have been blessed is an understatement.

I’ve completed twenty marathons including two Boston Marathons and a 50 mile Ultra-Marathon.

I am a licensed single-engine private pilot and even took up  sky diving to see what it feels like to jump out of a perfectly working airplane.

Eleven months after my successful prostate cancer surgery in 2010, I was able to finish a Full Ironman distance triathlon (140.6 miles) in 14 hr 34 minutes. My family was there at the finish line to celebrate with me.

What I do: Besides being a dad and a husband with an amazing family, I’m  a  retired Information Technology Consultant and able to pursue my dreams and adventures with my lovely wife, Lorraine.  I strive to continue to create new learning opportunities and new experiences  for myself and seek opportunities to help others in my community. 

What excites me: I love being outdoors under a wide open sky with the wind and sun in my face. I have a long list of hobbies that I love intensely.  Being a triathlete  seems to always keep me engaged in various stages of training whether its swimming, biking, or running.  I also make time for photography, woodworking, adventure backpacking, and a few other activities when time is available.   You know, the usual stuff.

Speaking of the usual stuff, I'm an endurance bicycle racer on a  team named  "Team Suicide Prevention".  We race our bicycles to raise money to support organizations who promote suicide prevention. In 2021, seven teammates and I  finished the 3,007 mile Race Across America in 8 days 4 minutes. That race started in Oceanside, California and finished in Annapolis, Maryland.  In 2022, three teammates and I finished the 925 mile Race Across the West in 2 days 13 hours 51 minutes.  That race started in Oceanside, California and finished in Durango, Colorado.

Little Known Fact: I’m a certified Open-Water Scuba Diver.

Random Tidbit #1: I am  associated with a special group of guys (6) who have hiked together over 500 miles in the Grand Canyon. On two occasions, we assisted in the helicopter rescue of  hikers who were in distress and needed medical attention.

Random Tidbit #2:  The last ten years of running and biking have been interesting with regard to wear and tear on my body as I've broken or fractured my left leg, my right collar bone, two ribs, and a torn achilles  in various accidents and crashes. In one of those crashes, I destroyed a perfectly good $2,000 bicycle and had my first rescue by the fire department EMTs. Ambulances rides are not comfortable. Guess I don't learn lessons very while. After the  fall 2018 Tulsa Route 66 Half Marathon, I had my second rescue by fire department EMTs.  I'm getting to really like these folks.
