MEET THE MAN BEHIND THE BEAUTY

Always a student of nature's wonders, I have a deep appreciation for the beauty of the earth and a passion for capturing its magnificence through the camera's lens. From iconic landmarks to remote, lesser-known terrains, my journey as a photographer has been driven by a desire to express the extraordinary and inspire others.

Creativity and connection have been guiding forces throughout my life, whether through photography, painting, or teaching self-defense. While the tools may differ, my purpose remains the same: to help others feel inspired and deeply connected to the world around them.

As I grow older, I find myself turning to nature for personal and spiritual growth, drawn to places of mystery and tranquility where the earth’s spirit speaks most clearly. Whether it’s the lush Hawaiian Islands, the towering Matterhorn, the winding canals of Venice, the majestic red rocks of Sedona, or the serene trails of my local state park, I aim to share my visual collections to encourage others to seek beauty and inspiration in their own lives.

Currently, my journey brings me to Sedona, where I’m showcasing my work at art shows throughout this awe-inspiring landscape.
