…and I've called it my home since I was 3 years old.
I grew up exploring Eastern Carolina's blackwater rivers, coastal swamps and the Outer Banks. Fishing, hunting, and kicking up arrowheads filled up most of my youth.
My love of nature led to a career as a marine biologist and later as a fishing guide. I picked up my first real camera in 2001 and spent the first few years in darkrooms processing landscape photos on 35mm, medium format and 4X5 film. I eventually gave in to the pull of digital and purchased a DSLR with a whopping 6 megapixels in 2004.
I love getting away from the insanity of work, bills and obligations...and escaping into the forests, rivers and swamps of North Carolina with my camera in hand.
I currently call Swansboro NC my home, along with my wife and two sons. I hope you enjoy the images I create. Don't hesitate to contact me if I can help you in any way.
