Closing in on the big 40 and I'm noticably thankful to have pictures to remind me of where I've been and the people I shared those times with. (And it's really funny to look at the hairstyles.)

Previous lives include working at the old REI store on Pike Street dodging staples in the old wood floor. Moving with REI to the Bay Area, soaking up Yosemite and the Sierra. Life as a web designer, programmer and finally as Creative Director, building Flash sites for clients like the Seattle Mariners and AT&T Wireless.

The last chapter as self-employed photographer, living happily in a quiet place in the woods among the deer, woodpecker, and occasional coyote.
