I like to laugh. I try not to take myself too seriously. Growing up, my parents hated the way I dressed and said I would have to change when I grow up and get a job. I told them, “I will get a job that allows me to wear what I want … and travel.” They said ….. “Good luck”

So here I am, 15 years later and many miles down the road of commercial / editorial photography experience and wearing pretty much what I want.

I moved to Saint Paul, MN from Superior, WI when I was 23. Met a girl. Got married and had a family. She got a job in the Brainerd Lakes area, so we moved.

I may have written this whilst toasting a hot dog bun and putting honey and butter on it. I’m living my best life.
