I was born in West Virginia, raised in Vermont, and settled in Charlottesville, Virginia. I have worked in fancy restaurants and country inns, and I have worn many hats in the hospitality industry. After undergoing hip replacement surgery in 2018, I am flexing my creativity and seeking a more appropriate occupation.

My creative works are original, not artificial intelligence. A great deal of care and learning goes into my work, including this website. A picture is more than the push of a shutter button. I hope you enjoy my creations.
