Talking Excitingly

Early Inspirations

From the rolling hills of the North Georgia mountains to the majestic landscapes of America's great National Parks, my passion for the natural world was ignited during childhood family vacations. These formative journeys laid the foundation for a lifetime of exploring and adventuring, cultivating a deep appreciation for the beauty and serenity of the outdoors.

Professional Journey

Balancing a successful marketing and corporate real estate career for 20+ years at IST Management Services, I have always been at the crossroads of creativity and innovation. The dynamic nature of leading and collaborating with talented individuals in these fields has further fueled my passion for the creative process. This exposure to a variety of perspectives and ideas continuously inspires me to pursue personal creative goals, particularly in the realm of landscape photography.

A Southern Heart with a Wanderlust Spirit

While Atlanta, GA, remains my home base, my spirit is nomadic, often venturing beyond the familiar terrains of the Southeast to capture the diverse beauty of landscapes across the United States and Europe. This love for travel not only broadens my artistic perspective but also brings a rich variety of subjects and stories into the lens.

Capturing the Essence of Water

Water, in all its forms, remains my favorite subject to photograph. From the cascading elegance of waterfalls to the tranquil shores of lakes and the rhythmic dance of ocean waves, I find endless inspiration in water's movement and form. The camera's shutter speed becomes a tool of magic in my hands, manipulating time and texture to transform water scenes into captivating visual stories.

Life Beyond the Lens

When not traversing wild landscapes or capturing the dance of light on water, I am a devoted fan, cheering on the Georgia Bulldogs and Atlanta United. These moments of community and excitement provide a joyful balance to the solitary pursuit of the next great shot, reminding me of the shared human experience that connects us all.


I reside in Duluth, GA, with my best friends, travel partners, and adventurers, my wife and son, who are the center of my world.
