but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles...
Isaiah 40:31



My Journey

Long ago I attended college at SIU as a cinema and photography major. My hope was to be a professional photographer and actually make a living at what I love to do. I love the great outdoors and desire to capture its awesomeness through the lens of my camera...to share, to move, to inspire the viewer. As so many of us have experienced, life doesn’t always take us the direction we thought we would go. I worked construction in the summers back then, and wouldn’t you know it, I’ve been in construction ever since.

Today’s a new day and I consider this the beginning of the second half of my life. My faith in Jesus Christ has always been my anchor on life’s journey. God has always provided for me and my family, and while remaining in construction, I now have the opportunity to reclaim my passion for photography. Thanks for visiting my site. I hope these images reveal His amazing creation.
