Bio
If you ever want to ask me a hard question, ask me where I'm from. I honestly have a hard time answering that. I was born in Asia, grew up in eastern and northern Africa, came to Europe where I served in the Navy and then lived in Washington DC for nearly 20 years. From there I moved to the Lorraine area in France and now live in the beautiful state of Saarland in Germany. Take a pick.
​​
Kids who grow up all over the world are called "Third Culture Kids". Once they are grown up, they are called "Global Nomads". And that is what I am. I still travel the world and enjoy seeing new places and experiencing new cultures. That is when I feel alive the most.
​
When I was 16, the first purchase I made with my first self earned money was a REVUE flex SLR. I still have it. And I always loved using it. It is one of my most prized possessions. Photography is a passion of mine. It gives me the opportunity to be creative, capture beauty, desolation, drama, excitement, happiness and all the other emotions within a split second. I can look at any picture in my library and still know exactly what I felt and what the circumstances where when I pushed the trigger.
​
This website is a small sample of my work. It will be updated as I create new content. So it is a living thing that grows and becomes more and more mature over time.
​
I hope you enjoy it.
