By day, I am professor of communication at Hardin-Simmons University. I spend my days talking about boring stuff like Aristotle and public speaking. If you're having trouble falling asleep, give me a call. (I digress) A few years ago, I started shooting around campus. (Photos, of course! If I was shooting guns, I would be writing this from prison!) I began shooting for HSU's university alumni publication, The Range Rider. Mostly I photographed landscapes and architecture, but quickly I discovered my love of taking portraits. I really enjoy capturing people at their best.

From there, I continued shooting children, infants, families, and business professionals. (Sheesh, this sounds really bad! Maybe photographers should find another verb for what they do!) I love the technical side of photography as well as the human element of getting to know people and trying to get them to smile and not blink. (This is no small task, at times. Try taking a photo of my wife!) I also really love the post-production side of photography with Photoshop CS4. (I'm also a Mac snob. If you don't own a Mac, you should stop reading this, throw your PC in the trash, and get one.)

I live in Abilene with my wife Crista and my two-and-a-half year old, and my brand new twin boys. My wife and I graduated from HSU in of the year 2000. Oh, and I'm an Aggie. (Don't hold it against me!)

Give me a call!
