Our mission was anything from Air Assault, to Medivac, to personel/asset transport. (Military Occupational Specialty) was an Engine Mechanic for UH-1 and BLACKHAWK helicopters. Aviation is my first and biggest passion. This has never changed. I have my helicopter and fixed wing licenses. I grew up in a very artistic family and was immersed in creative stuff since my earliest memories. Photography is just one of my way-too-many creative pursuits.... I'm often scatter brained and spread too thin. I start too many things at once and take too long to finish many of them. If you want to work with me you have to be politely persistent. Believe it or not, photography is NOT my passion. But it's a lot of fun for the time being. I foresee that, some day, I'll move on to my next creative pursuit and quit photography...... ish. I grew up in church and believe in God with all my heart. I believe in honoring God in all that I do. I also fall short of this goal every day. I love my country and do believe that our country was blessed by God. America is the greatest country on the earth and I will never apologize for being an American. There's a lot of photographers who are way better than me. I don't think I'm anything special. If I have any talent, it's picking great people to work with, who make me look good. I'm very blessed to have worked with the people that I've worked with. I'll end with a quote, my quote:
"If you walk into a room, chances are, about 10% of the people in that room are just idiots, and there's not much you can do for them. I just happen to walk into rooms that are really big, and the 10% that I see, is a lot more than other people. So when you hear people hating on me, they're just the 10% in my room."
