Born and raised in the state of West Virginia I am the father of 2 and grandfather of 7. I got into photography when digital became available as I couldn't afford to mess up so many pictures otherwise. I am just an amateur but dream of being much more. My wife and I enjoy travel, especially with our grandchildren. It is our goal to expose them to as much of the world and it's cultures as we can. Along the way if I can take a few pictures, so much the better. I enjoy the outdoors and all Gods creatures. His is the ultimate palette.
