About Me

A dad/stepdad to awesome kids, IT architect, runner, ultra-runner and triathlete. Never thought I’d run longer than 26.2 but now am addicted to ultra’s. This is my world through photos and my thoughts.

My kids are my everything. My son takes after me in the theater and my daughter has my competitive and athletic side. Both are wonderful and I miss them when I’m not with them. A lot of my photography and stories will be about my time with family and life experiences as well as my spending time with @knitahollis.

My newest version of Trifatlete is all about photography and challenging myself everyday to take some type of creative photo. Every month I will start off with a challenge word a day and I have to try and take photos of that word. Some days I can be very creative while others I just need to figure out what fits the word. On top of that I will be added a lot of photos from other projects.

THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS. I'm still learning about photography so this is a year of some creative fun

My life also is very much built around physical fitness and I am an avid runner for over 40 years. See my personal bests below.
