About Me

I always loved photography as a kid.   My first camera was a Kodak Disc 4000 camera for Christmas in 1982.  I took a ton of pictures, but as a kid without a lot of money to get them developed…. I was pretty bad at it.   

When I first moved to Boulder, CO from my home state of Texas (Gig ‘Em Aggies!), I bought my first ‘real’ camera, a Nikon D40.  At the time I was working as a real estate photographer servicing clients along the Front Range with 360-degree virtual tours for property listings.  (iPIX images before the company went under.)  Back then that involved snapping bracketed 185-degree images, building the files in Photoshop to bring out the details, and then stitching the images together manually using software tools.     My photo assignments led to some CD-Rom business card work, so I taught myself some web design as a necessity.  This design work eventually led me to my current career at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics.    

As a professional, I’ve worn many hats.  I’ve worked as a personal trainer, a health club manager, a fitness class leader,  a real-estate photographer, a wedding photographer, a wedding DJ,  a Covid-19 era virtual-wedding consultant, a technology sales rep for networking hardware, a health club membership manager, a webmaster & developer, and the manager of 250+ person team of volunteers for the Great American Beer Festival and the World Beer Cup.
