Born in the inner city of Evansville Indiana until the age of 16, when our parents moved our family to Panama City, Florida where my wife and I still reside. After graduating I began a career in law enforcement and was quickly promoted to investigations working undercover narcotics and was also assigned to the department’s very first swat team. I started archery hunting at the age of 13 and to this day it is my greatest passion, the other being wildlife photography or as I call it “hunting with a camera”. The entire reason I got into photography began with a very close encounter with a huge black bear while elk hunting in Colorado. At that point, I wished I had a camera so I could show people what I had witnessed, and the rest is history. In 2009 I met my wife Julie, who at the time was not into archery hunting, or wildlife. Fifteen years later she has harvested 20 deer with her bow on public land and is now my assistant traveling our great nation with a video camera in hand. We travel the country four to seven months a year photographing wildlife and archery hunting in different states. My way of photography is spending time with wildlife which means hiking miles in rough terrain and high altitudes sometimes over 13,000 feet. To my amazement Julie is right there with me through it all.
