​"I live on acreage south of Nixa, a small town in southwest Missouri with my wife Molly,  My photography is inspired by the variety of texture and patterns which I see in nature.  The farm which we live on which includes livestock and pets are often my subjects.  The animals possess such regalness, integrity and sometimes whimsy in their personalities only noticed by those who spend time with them.  The fields, woods and river give testament to the fragility and strength of the world around us."
