I grew up around photography. My dad was an award-winning amateur photographer while serving with the USAAF in World War II, and occasionally turned our storage pantry into a darkroom. I joined the USAF right out of high school and caught 'the bug' very quickly. To this day, some of my best pictures are those I took during my two tours in Southeast Asia.
