I've loved taking pictures since my first purchase of a Minolta X700 35mm camera. Deployed onboard the USS Nassau LHA-4. I wanted to document our transit through the Suez Canal. This was in 1982. I was born in San Diego, CA. I spent most of my childhood growing up in Chicago, leaving when I joined the Navy. I returned to San Diego in 1983
I've loved taking pictures since my first purchase of a Minolta X700 35mm camera. Deployed onboard the USS Nassau LHA-4. I wanted to document our transit through the Suez Canal. This was in 1982. I was born in San Diego, CA. I spent most of my childhood growing up in Chicago, leaving when I joined the Navy. I returned to San Diego in 1983, after a short stint, stationed in Norfolk, VA. I have lived here since. I started with shooting insects and plants, moving into sports and later studio photography. I enjoy all aspects of photography, even working in the darkroom. I am a retire Navy Chief and also retired from the fire service in 2017, after 25 years. I have a beautiful family my stepson Arnold, daughter Alexandria, two grandchildren Ryder and Brooklyn. Last but not least my supporter and best friend, my wife Andrea! I am available in San Diego County and also can provide photo booth rental, for all occasions.
I am surrounded both by natural beauty and interesting people. I use my camera to document the world and then print images with a focus on the magic I find in daily life. My pictures tell my stories.
