I am a missionary kid who has lived most of my life overseas in Africa. As I grew up there, I watched my Dad shoot photos on safaris and of family and friends with his Pentax K1000. Over the years back there I slowly started to grow a passion for photography from watching my Dad and seeing his photos. Moved back to the US between 04-05 went through high school a community college with an Associates in Applied Science degree with Photography emphasis and now at Brooks Institute in Cali
