So how does a pnw kid find himself in east Tennessee? well the last few years has been life altering to say the least. like many a pandemic forced us to come to terms with our life choices and for many choices were made for us. at the end of 2020 the very little I had I sold and saved as much as possible. My daughters moved to Texas and there was nothing left for me in my home state, so I bought myself a tiny vintage trailer and allowed the wind to take me away. with a new found sense of freedom from the division and fear that was America I became a nomad, a man without a home, and like my ancestors I embraced being gypsy. I found myself, I fell in love with my faith again and I became a freed soul.

I belonged nowhere so when I went back home I went to say my goodbyes expecting never to see some faces again. There was no way of knowing I was about to meet my future. the night before I was going to hit the road I go to see one last person. fast forward to today she and I are married with a beautiful little girl one on the way and are going on almost 4 years of marriage. so why Kingsport? honestly it's boiled down to our needs and the proximity to family. but since being here we have gained a fantastic community, and making it a home..

a home for a dream. when I was a kid shooting on an old 35mm cannon AE-1 not knowing what I was doing a passion was being born. Today with modern cameras and modern editing we are constantly learning and growing. however I still get excited hearing the sound of a shutter! it doesn't matter if its a wedding, nature, newborn, maternity, just taking a crisp beautiful photo is what I love to do. I just love photography! I love capturing moments of humanity and the joys of this beautiful world.
