Two things have been a constant in my life- moving and taking pictures. From a young age my mother moved us around a lot. When I graduated high school, I joined the Coast Guard. I have never lived at a single address more than five years.
On some subconscious level, this drove a desire to capture all my memories of places I lived and people I knew. Between life and military training, a candid photography style developed.

While my job as a public affairs specialist allows me to travel for work, often that work is spent on the phone with media for crisis communications. When I do get behind a camera, its about telling the story, sometimes history, unfolding before me. I may be able to pause the person, but there are no do-overs.
