Your Bio

I am an amateur photographer, and relatively new to dSLR cameras. I am learning new techniques every day and just having a blast. I love the online photo sharing community and the feedback and inspiration it has given to me thus far, and am excited to continue to be a part of this.

I am happy to share and teach others the techniques I use, so if you are interested in how to do something, please feel free to send me a message.

I've been a Photoshop user since roughly 1993, starting with version 2.0; Photoshop and I grew up together.

Outside of photography, I am a software engineer and graphic designer by trade. I am also a musician, I am a classically trained vocalist and pianist, amateur song writer and I also play guitar, ukulele, a little banjo, a little accordion and a little acoustic bass. I am always interested in picking up a new instrument and trying to learn enough to write at least one song.

You can purchase fine art prints and framed copies of my work on Image Kind

You can hear some of my music online at MySpace or TracksInTheSky.com

The company I work for: Interbill

The company I co-founded and developed: MeetSauce.com - Meeting planning and coordination service.
