I am a Senior Project Manager working on large commercial construction projects in the Tampa Florida area. I am also a LEED Accredited Professional. LEED is The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Green Building Rating System™ which encourages and accelerates global adoption of sustainable green building and development practices through the creation and implementation of universally understood and accepted tools and performance criteria. The certification program is a nationally accredited benchmark for the design, construction, and operation of high performance green buildings. Photography is my hobby- I love cameras and photography of all kinds. Feel free to browse my galleries if you like. My Photostream is a visual journal of my life with everything from family and travel, to work and urban exploring, with a few scans of old family slides, and even the occasional artistic image I may grab along the way someplace- so if you are looking for something specific I suggest using the Image Collections and Sets listed to help you find it- as they are (somewhat) well organized and tagged.

My work is eternally dedicated to my three daughters, Sydney, Camryn, and Lauren- who are the joy in my life and the light in my soul. Thanks for checking me out- Take care and God bless.

Since were talking- do me a big favor and don't post your own pictures or your dna or your photostream links in the comments of my pictures- I'll delete it if I don't know you and there is no point aside from trying to pull traffic to your own images. And for the love of God please don't invite me to join your ridiculous Post 1 - Comment 3 - Award 5 - special cut n' paste comment Flickr group. Just sayin'


My groups in case you want to participate:
