I am a journalist.

To understand that calling, you must be compelled to always create in words.  Because I maintain an extended family ancestry with a few writing luminaries, I know there is a riddle associated with WRITER.

I know, intrinsically, that irony is sage seasoning for the soul.  On a daily basis, I rightfully afflict the comfortable -- and comfort the afflicted.  That can occur through my photos, but more frequently through my words.

I stumble through life as we all do, but am more energized by running and jumping.  I talk -- with relish -- but hear more than the average person when I listen.  I live among you with a microscope on the absurd, the mundane and anything else that falls on me. Curiosity permeates my core, a need for answers drives me ruthlessly.  

In that capacity, I could be considered an itinerant troublemaker on a global quest to right the world's wrongs -- a riddle wrapped in a mystery, an enigma encased in an oddity, a thorn in the paws of those without conscience -- or the boors.  Still, some seek me as A Teller of Truth.  They say freedom comes with Truth.  In every package.

Share my accomplishments and the moments that stand still in my photographs.  When it's all said and done, know that I did my best to tell the world's stories.  And, let them stand the test of time.
