I was born on 07/03/1971, in Fort Worth, Texas (United States).

As I grew up, my parents were never without their German Rollei camera, documenting all of the important (and not so important) moments of our lives. Call it a sort of family photojournalism, if you will. Perhaps this was what spurred me to begin learning the art of black and white photography and darkroom development at the age of 14.

This hobby and obsession has stuck with me all of my life.

My first SLR was an Olympus OM10, equipped with a 50mm lens. I shot countless rolls of film through that camera, working with my high school yearbook group, documenting our Outdoor Club's activities, and shooting pictures of my friends.

In college, I became the Photo Editor for the Rice University newpaper, The Thresher. I upgraded my equipment to a Canon T90, and expanded my lens selection extensively. That equipment was later traded up for a Nikon F5 body and a selection of Nikkor lenses. That new glass was so sharp, I could hardly believe it.

Then came the digital age. I now shoot with a Nikon D200 most days. As a pocket camera, to document those unexpected moments, I still carry a Canon PowerShot S60 as well.

These tools accompany me wherever I travel, allowing me to capture memories of places and people that I visit, and document the changes I witness in my friends, my family, myself, and my world.

Please look around. I hope you enjoy my work. Please feel free to contact me if you have questions, would like to comment, or if I can be of assistance to you in any way.
