I am an amateur photographer who lives in northeast Ohio with my lovely wife. I have a passion for getting outdoors and photographing whatever might catch my interest. As we live in a high-tech and high-paced world, I find solitude and rejuvenation as often as I can through experiencing the wonder and the mystery in nature. Whether exploring locations far away or just relaxing and enjoying the beauty and wildlife in the nearby Cuyahoga Valley National Park, my trusty Nikon is never too far away. If I can capture the essence of the emotions I feel and find inspiration, all the better. If not, a bad day in the woods still beats a great day in the office.
