I love to travel and often have my camera with me so I can capture the scenes around me. It's a bonus if my adventurous wife or courageous kids are able to tag along. We love road trips, hiking, camping, exploring, airplane trips, Disneyland vacations, and anything that allows us to create memories. I have enjoyed photography for more than half my life, starting with point-and-shoots as a teenager and gravitating into DSLRs. My photography passions include landscapes, the night sky and macro, and more recently, photographing temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I love to tell stories, whether through video, photo or the written word.
