Born in Chicago, grew up in Northern Michigan, joined the Navy, traveled South East Asia and the Pacific and the West coast, lived in PNW, came back to Michigan to study and live, have a dog and camera, both are well trained, looking to make art and experience this grand adventure of life.

Music, Movies, and Books

like documentaries and movies that make you think IE. Vanilla Sky, Memento, Inception, etc.

Like all music in limited doses. Music has a strong primal energy so I'm careful to as to how much of what, I listen to.

I'm currently diving into the works of James Baldwin.
