I was born an artist and a musician. I make my living shooting photos for The Walt Disney Company as well as building high end Desmond classical guitars. I love dogs, especially Golden Retrievers. I'm in a local Orlando band called Alter Egoz. I am married to a wonderful person, Teresa Schmitz Desmond. I have 2 kids, Luke and Elizabeth, both well educated and with good jobs. My hobbies are songwriting, Disney park hopping, going for long walks, taking care of my yard, watching pro baseball, hanging out with my family.
