Ah yes, where to start. I wish writing was as easy as taking photos, but I'll do the best I can. Born 1960 in Los Angeles, I've lived in Southern Oregon for over 30 years now around the Klamath Falls area. The kids are all grown up and gone, so it's just my wife Jackie and I. We share our home with our two golden retrievers, Maple and Junior, and our wild cat Peaches. Living on a ranch out in the open is the best, with the farming and cattle, all the wildlife, and the beauty of the land, hard to imagine living anywhere else.
My passion is photography, and it seems there is never enough time to devote to it as much as I would like, but absense makes the heart grow fonder. I seriously got into photography in 2001 and never looked back. Been doing graphic design for 20 years now and have done lots of fun projects, and most recently I've done website design and coding, a never ending learning curve for keeping up on all of them. My other passion is food, having owned a restaurant for 16 years and currently working as a chef, time is always an issue, but we never go hungry!
Currently, I'm in many local galleries where I sell framed prints and have art showings, keep busy with graphics ranging from logos and business cards to menus and signs, working on websites and updates, and always waiting for the perfect lighting for my photography. I like to bring my artistic side to cooking as well and it makes for some awesome dishes. All in all, life is good.
