"Work to live, not live to work"
If you like my work, shoot me a Fickrmail and introduce yourself. Please don't just add me as a contact and then disappear.
I was born and raised in the beautiful state of Michigan. Originally from the west side of the state, now I live in the great city of Ann Arbor.
I am a pilot. I fly both single engine airplanes and gliders. What can I say about flying? Words just cannot possibly describe the magic. Breaking the bonds of gravity and leaving the troubles of the ground bound world behind is an incredible natural high. The sense of adventure, pride, and accomplishment flying has given me is immeasurable.
I have also gone skydiving, white water rafting, and gallivanting all over North America. Constantly seeking out new adventures.
I took pictures of anything and everything with a hand-me-down Minolta point and shoot when I was a teenager. The things I enjoy in life are also the things I like to photograph. I especially enjoy finding beauty in unexpected places.

"Let me start out by saying I think you should have more testimonials.
I think flickr isn't just about finding stuff that inspires you, or photos you like, or trying your hardest to be explored. I think it's about making friendships and helping other photographers grow with comments or encouragement, and that is exactly what you do. I take all your comments to heart, and each one of them is appreciated. Thank you for everything, and please continue taking great images!"31st May, 2010

"SkySnapper! Since I don't know your real name and you call me by mine, I'll have to refer to you with your username. :)
Anyways, your photos are inspiring and always give me new ideas, while still capturing something WORTH a thousand words. :)
Your stream is completely diverse, and very creative. I look forward to ALL of your future uploads."22nd December, 2009
