I'm a geo-physicist by degree, a design development engineer by trade and a mountaineer by choice... I'm a Phillips University grad and did some time as a touring sound engineer for a variety of artists.

I live in very, very rural Oklahoma and worked for an OK City company, a Dallas MEP, a Norwegian company. A Portland company, a Beaverton company and a Chicago company... and a Salt Lake company... Spent my time on airplanes and travel. Then.... I took a severance package and retired.

And now... well, I just do work under contract for whomever I feel like dealing with.

and I climb mountains, mainly in the western hemisphere. You name it, I probably have scaled it. Occasionally, I go to Patagonia in South America to traverse the Chilean ice cap.

I like my ATV rides out in the country to photograph things... all over western Oklahoma roads. Dirt roads only., thanks...

I do "projects"; around our place, building things and creating mechanical devices. So a lot of my photos revolve around my workshops (I have 4) and the things I build... + our cats. And cars.... I have cars.

Whatever..... I'm having fun.
