I am a middle school Science Teacher, High School Swim Coach, Ski instructor and soccer dad. I picked up my first camera, a Pentax K1000, when I was in high school and then stepped away from photography for quite a while. I picked it up again when my daughter was born and have dabbled with it over the past 15 years. I love photographing my kids, but they don't want me to anymore, so I have turned toward landscape photography as a result.
