I have been studying art my entire adult life.

Introduced to photography at a young age, I began my career

shooting photos in my backyard. My dad, also an

accomplished artist, enriched my early portfolio with many

unique and diverse photographic opportunities, including

western vistas, Missouri wildlife, and subterranean caves. My

first camera, the Canon T-70, is still a personal favourite and

remains in use.

Graudate of the University of Missouri-Rolla, and a true

Renaissance man, I have a passionate curiousity. I carry with

me significant aptitudes in literature, psychology,

philosophy, computer science, and graphics arts that

continue beyond my collegiate careers.

In 2000, I began painting professionally. Since that time, I

have created over 100 pieces of original abstract art. I have

been extremely lucky to show my work to countless patrons

and professionals. Most importantly, I am very proud to

support the Saint Louis community and sponsor the arts.  I

am currently pursuing a second bachelor of arts degree in

graphic design at St. Louis Community College at Meramec.

Current photographic equipment: the Canon Elan 7-E, the

Canon EOS 10-D, and the Sony 8.1 Megapixel DSC-H9.

Lenses: Canon 65mm MP-E macro lens, a Tamron 19-35mm

wide-angle, and a Tamron 70-300mm telephoto lens.

Currently, I am 35 years old, study eastern philosophy, live

in Saint Louis and manager of my own studio.
