I am a self-employed network engineer who worked his way through college as a mall portrait photographer.

I am also a United States Marine (remember, there is no such thing as a ex Marine).

I have been married to the love of my life for 20 years. We have 6 beautiful children, and live in the suburbs of Kansas City.

I have allowed my career to interfere with my love of photography far too long. I have finally decided that, though rusty as hell and outgunned by most of you, I am going to get back in the game.

This is my journey.
