From his earliest years in rural Virginia, he loved nature. From crawfish to thunderstorms, he marveled at the creativity on display wherever the influence of man was not overpowering. Growing up, he expressed his imagination by inventing stories to entertain friends. He went on to explore the limits of photography. He created his own style he called ‘natural surrealism’ by taking photos of real objects in a way that expressed their hidden extra-ordinary characteristics. He also reworked photographic processes to expand and distort what the lens actually saw. Exploring furniture making, he designed and manufactured unique and interesting pieces such as a cantilevered wooden aquarium that seemed to defy gravity. Using his talents on larger works, he studied architecture. Upon obtaining his license created the firm Associates in Architecture, which now provides him full-time employment. His other creations include two beautiful children and a fabulous relationship with his wife, Vivian. Naturally, he entertained his children with unique fantasies based on reality. Now he makes these stories available to all children by writing them into books.

Exploring furniture making, he designed and built unique pieces such as a cantilevered walnut aquarium that defied gravity. Moving on to larger works he studied architecture and opened an office that now provides him full time employment.
His other creations include two beautiful children and a wonderful relationship with his wife Vivian. Naturally, he entertained his children with unique fantasies. Fortunately those stories have been recorded and are now available to children everywhere.
His debut novel The Venus Prophecy is in the emerging genre of cli-fi and uses a blend of science fiction and drama as a vehicle to illustrate our peril. He hopes people worldwide will see what is happening in time to prevent his fictional catastophe on Venus from becoming reality on Earth.
