Professionally I am a database analyst and automation programmer with 20 years experience in my field and industry at three of the most recognizable institutions in Texas. I began programming when I was eight years old and progressed to database theory later in school. My talent with computers, software and databases garnered a reputation for problem solving and solutions design in 1997 and I plan to continue on that path until I retire.

I built my first computer in 1996 and maintain a small network of Windows and LINUX based machines at home upon which I continue to learn and practice my skills.

I took up photography in 2016 when I was given a hand-me-down DSLR and haven't looked back since. Anxious to find an outlet to continue practicing with the camera, I took up bird and wildlife photography at the end of that year and have been pursuing it actively to learn as much as I can as quickly as I can. I have been fortunate, during my first year shooting, to capture some truly amazing birds - including the fulfillment of a lifelong dream to see a California Condor.
