Through my lens, I aim to capture the essence of nature's beauty and share it with the world. Every photograph holds a unique experience, frozen in time and etched in my memory Forever.

My journey as a photographer began many many years ago with film and now has progressed to digital after a long hiatus from shooting. As most of us learned early on, set your camera in automatic mode, and everything was done for you; but, that limits your true potential for creativity. Now, to get the dynamic shots that give you the “WOW” Factor, your skill has to be more astute to the changing dynamics of your camera, composition and subject matter you choose to shoot. I have no problem shooting people (pictures of people), but my preferred subjects are Landscapes and Wildlife these days.

The art of photography allows me to freeze these fleeting moments and present them in a way that resonates with others; in which, I am grateful for the opportunity to share these visual stories with you.

A little info about me. I grew up in Arlington, Texas and I currently live in Joshua, Texas. I am a veteran of the United States Marine Corps and of Law Enforcement in the State of Texas. Photography is my hobby, I am not a Professional Photographer; but I strive to be professional in my art. I have received multiple accolades for my photography over the past few years to include a Best of Show Ribbon from the Great State Fair of Texas Creative Arts Department for my Black and White Portrait of an American Bald Eagle in 2024. However, the greatest award I can receive is knowing my art has left a lasting Blessing upon you and your heart.
