About Me

For those of you who don’t know me, I have lived in Colorado all my life. I love it here. I love the outdoors and go hiking, snowboarding, snowshoeing, etc. I’m big into photography and computers. I’m currently 32, married and have two beautiful boys.

Photography

As a native Coloradan, I’ve grown up around beautiful scenery and have gained a true love for the outdoors. By day, I’m a Software Engineer, and in my free time I take to my camera. I’ve learned the fundamentals of photography from my father, a graphic artist by trade, who has a true artistic flare. I enjoy a good hike in the mountains or even around town and always have my camera around my neck. My main focuses are Landscape Photography, Wild Flower and Macro Photography, and Travel Photography in general.

I started out with a point and shoot film camera in high school and graduated to a Digital SLR just after my college years.  I am self taught in the technicalities and finer details of the world of photography.  I’ve seen my fair share of the world and aim to share the beautiful and interesting places I’ve visited though my Photography.  I aim to capture the wonderful and beautiful places that I visit in a way that shares the way I enjoyed them.  Exotic cars has long been a love of mine as well and I try to capture the beauty of engineering they represent.  I dabble in portrait photography as well mainly for family and friends.   Overall, I enjoy capturing the world around me and sharing it with others.
