I grew up in Northern California in a small ranching/farming community north of Chico. I learned at a young age that hard work pays off and have tried to remember that through the years even when it did not seem that way. I have been in construction of one type or another most of my life but after the economic collapse, I had to try other things, so I hit the road building several Wind Farms in a few states and even stepping into and out of the Cell Tower industry. One thing that has remained a constant for me through the years has been a love for the outdoors and a love of photography.

I spend most of my free time with my camera in hand and although I do not call photography a full time job I treat it as such, working hard to create new inspiration. I have to say I am one lucky man. I have a 4year old daughter and a beautiful wife who support me. I know if it was not for them I could not do what I do today.

I hope you enjoy my images as it is my goal to inspire people to get out and enjoy the world around them.

If you have questions just ask.
