I am a 38 year old Adventure Photographer who specializes in Wildlife,
Adventure, and Landscape Photography.I was born in Hot Springs, Arkansas but
soon after moved to Pine Bluff, Arkansas. I grew up there and graduated from
Pine Bluff High School in 1990. I then left for college at Auburn University
from which I graduated from in 1994. After working for several years in
Birmingham, I returned to Auburn where I now live. I am not your typical Nature
Photographer. What sets me apart is my drive and passion to pursue adventure and wildlife photography to a level were few others venture to dare. I have the
knowledge, experience, and capability to track into inhospitible environments.
This is where I thrive. I seek the challenge and make it happen. Whether in the
mountains photographing black bears or in the swamps photographing alligators
and snakes I am at home. I have always had an interest in photography but I
mostly put it aside growing up and stuck to hunting and fishing. During college
at Auburn University, I began backpacking and camping more and hunting less. In 1994 I studied abroad at Nottingham Trent University in Nottingham, England.
While there I spent every free moment I had hiking across England and taking
pictures. When I returned to Auburn I continued backpacking and starting taking
trips to the Great Smokey Mountains National Park and Appalachian Trail. On
several of my first week long trips I began to see black bears during isolated
areas of the AT. After several encounters with the bears, I was hooked on
photography and have never slowed down.
