Behind the Lens

I have been an avid aviation enthusiast since early childhood. I watched jets day and night as they approached Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport. Growing up I spent many hours building model airplanes and having my dad take me to local air shows. My photography interests took off in high school as a means to document all my hobbies, adventures and activities. As my fascination with aviation continued to grow, I earned a mechanical engineering degree and spent my entire career in the aerospace industry. By the grace of God, I am a cancer survivor. I retired from Boeing a few years ago. Now the plan is to combine my love of photography, adventure and aviation and sharing those passions with my photos. Also, you can follow me on Instagram to watch me do just that!
