Born and raised in the Great Lakes State of Michigan, I grew up surrounded by dramatic weather, wide open spaces, and quiet moments that are simply part of the landscape.
Serving in the U.S. military provided opportunities to travel through multiple countries and experience cultures, environments, and perspectives far beyond my hometown. Along the way, I learned to slow down, observe, and appreciate the details — skills that quietly shaped the way I photograph today.
Although I enjoy landscapes, wildlife, street, portrait, and architecture photography, my heart belongs to macro and micro photography. I'm drawn to the hidden world that exists just beyond normal sight, where ordinary subjects reveal extraordinary textures, patterns, and details when viewed up close.
Photography, for me, isn't about perfection. It's about attention. The pause. The moment when something ordinary becomes worth remembering.
