About Me

 Whether watching the sun rise from the floor of Death Valley, set over the rim of the Grand Canyon or watching a rainbow appear over the ocean at Wrightsville Beach, nature always moves me. The challenge with my still or video camera is not just to show you "Look, I was there!" but rather to make you feel what I felt. My goal is simple...I aim to move you.

ABOUT ME

BACKGROUND

Creativity has always been in my blood. It was integral to my 20 year career as a marketing executive for a Fortune 500 company in Winston Salem, NC. Upon my retirement in 2003 I was able to devote all of my creative energy to my passion for photography, and most recently videography. Combining my creative streak with my love for innovative marketing strategy has also allowed me to provide marketing consulting for several companies across the state. I currently work out of my home on the north end of the beach.
