The year was 2004...
...and I was a nerdy kid attending my first classes at Virginia Marti College of Art & Design (Lakewood, OH), armed with a hand-me-down Canon Rebel 35mm camera and a ziploc bag full of drawing pencils. My major was Multimedia - digital design, website design, editorial photography, fine art, and traditional illustration - and it was rather like drinking from a firehose. I had a knack for portrait sketching and oil painting up until this point, but the gauntlet of college would eventually turn me into a well-rounded artist with marketable skills. Now I am a full-service graphic and web designer, with a flare for photography.
From music to mountains to motorcycles
When not navigating the world of freelance design, I must indulge in my hobbies so I don't go crazy. My absolute favorite thing to photograph (and to enjoy) is motorcycles. Occasionally, there are people in the photos, and that's cool too. I've had more than a few music projects over the years, which have produced a few decent tunes. I'm also a painter/sketch artist, a writer, a professional vocalist, and an avid karaoke singer.
These days I live in Cheyenne, Wyoming, though I spent most of my life in Colorado; so any chance I get, you will find me photographing every facet of its amazing geography, ideally in the company of my equally-skilled brother (Treadlight)
