I am originally from a little town north of Santa Barbara called Lompoc. I now reside in Michigan due to my job. My job for the last 17 years is a Boatswainsmate in the US Coast Guard.

I took up photography while stationed in Puerto Rico and have been hooked ever since.

SurfDaddy says:

"Coast Guard BM takes shots that will lead you to a tropical paradise, make your brain wonder or heart thump. I have only met CGBM here on Flickr, but If you put his photos in a line up I would recognize them immediately for their unique style. Look at CGBM's photostream and you will see the beauty of the place he calls home."

"Coast Guard BM is NOT afraid to take chances with his shots, both in the field, and back in the digital darkroom. His work doesn't copy the work of others; he breaks new ground and doesn't apologize for it. Anyone looking at his portfolio will no doubt recognize an ever-evolving style. His shots are fun, beautiful, and unique."
