I was born and raised in southwestern Minnesota on a dairy farm and learn how to work as a kid. No work no eats my dad would say. Was in a rock band in the early 80's. Moved to Arizona in 85 and married Nancy in 87. In 88 I became a crane operator and did that for 12 years. Started making images in 91 and by 2002 I broke free from the 9 to 5 and became a freelance photographer. Now my hours are all day everyday to make it. It is a tuff business, but I love doing what I do. Having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ is the key in my life. We as Christians aren't perfect, just forgiven.
