 |  | Biography |  | As far back as I can remember, photography has always been an interest to me.  I have seen many things that were worth shooting but had no way of capturing the moment.  I had the pleasure of spending my childhood living on the Blue Ridge Parkway (Fancy Gap, VA).  I moved with my mom and brother to Mount Airy, NC (better known as Mayberry, NC) in 1982.  I am the middle child of three. Today, I only live about thirty minutes from my home place.  Now that I am an adult, I have managed to see some of the United States.  I served in the US Army and was fortunate to be stationed in Monterey, CA.  I caught some major sunsets over the Monterey Bay, the Pacific Ocean, and while in flight from the West Coast to the East Coast. That was back in 2004.  Since I have returned back to Mount Airy, I have got more involved in photography.  I have the privilege of getting beautiful sunsets casting behind our beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains.  I am very fortunate to live in an environment full of breath taking sceneries that I do. |  |  |  | Statement |  |  |  |  |  | Exhibitions |  |  |  |  |  |
