About Me	I am a photographic imager, specializing in landscape, still life, animals and wildlife photos.

Our first international exhibit took place at the Alckemy Gallery, in Lahore, Panistan in March of 2013 take pictures of whatever moves me at the time.

My wife Susie and I have lived in the Sheridan area since 2007. We share 29.2 acres with 43 ducks, seven chickens, four cats, three goats, and a “city dog” that is growing fond of country living.
