A Little About Me…

For 22 years now I have called Alaska my home


I have spent a bunch of years with the local fire departments as a fire fighter, medic and photographer. Thus the name Akfirebug.


But after 5 back surgeries I have quit the departments and enjoy a fire with less work attached to it


I also enjoy heading out to the Dog races, but one can feel kind of small sometimes when I look around at all the other photographers with their fancy high dollar camera equipment, so I prefer to stay off the beaten path...


I believe in Karma and animals are the best testers of it.


And when I am not taking photos I am out riding my bike...4 months out of the year anyway...


My photography has taken me to Thailand/Burma and Uganda/Congo borders working on the mission field, where I will go next, only God knows but I am ready! If I had a choice I would love to go to Russia!

Another dream of mine is that one day God will open the doors to Ryan Glory horse ranch, its been almost 9 years since first having this dream but when the time is right Ryan’s Glory will open its doors for children and their families who suffer daily with the pain of having a brain tumor. The name of this ranch is in memory of Ryan, who was and still is one of my greatest teachers. He has taught me about life and how to fight the hardships that will come my way. Six months after meeting Ryan I found out that I too have a brain tumor, I watched Ryan for 4 years fighting against all odds before he passed away at the age of 10. One day families will come to my ranch to find rest, joy and encouragement and of course horseback riding!

So at the end of the day its nice when I can relax and have a story read to me
