My photography journey began as a 10-year-old kid and a Kodak disc camera. Three years later on one rainy day while on a vacation, I asked my dad to show me how his fancy SLR camera worked. So he gave me a 101 on the basics of photography. He was quite surprised that a 13-year-old boy would have such interest. Soon after he gave me my first SLR (a Nikon FE2), and my passion for photography from there.

​

My greatest photographic passion is landscape photography. I love being outside and I love the challenge of trying to portray the beauty that nature gives us, the patterns hidden within landscapes and the colors of the evening the sky. I believe photography is as much about seeing the unique elements of nature as it is capturing them.

 

Beyond landscape and travel photography, I also enjoy wildlife photography, macro photography and occasionally dabble in abstract photography.

 

I am a Fellow of the Dallas Camera Club and my work has been recognized in numerous awards competitions and published in various magazines and publications. 

 

Outside of my photography, I live in Richmond, Virginia, and I am married to my wife Katherine who encourages and inspires me in addition to helping me find some great photographic opportunities. I also have two dogs who keep me very busy. Professionally I am the Director of Business Development for the commercial law firm of Troutman Pepper Locke.
