A bit reserved, will keep his opinions to himself till the time is right, funny, self-taught photographer, artist, business intelligence analyst, technical, computer guru, mechanical engineer, Gemini (oh so Gemini), recently finished a fundamentals of art program at the Art Instructions School and constantly trying new things.

Currently, focusing on weddings and portraits. Attempt to pay for this expensive "hobby" by working full time as a Business Intelligence Developer/Analyst in Lakewood, CO, USA.

Got married (again) in March 2009 to a wonderful woman named Corie (another Gemini). Have two children of my own, Cole and Lauren. Grew up in Idaho Falls, ID, USA, on a small farm and moved to Denver CO, USA in 1999 for the dot.com boom. That collapsed fast didn't it? Have a formal Mechanical Engineering degree from University of Idaho in Moscow, ID, USA. Never worked a day in the mechanical engineering field due to lack of jobs during the mid 90's. Learned how to program web pages and the rest led me to where I am now.
