Born and raised in the Southeast, his journey into photography unfolded through a series of both successes and failures across diverse artistic pursuits. He ultimately discovered his true passion for photography at the profound moment of his first child's birth. As a lifelong musician, Grammy award recipient, and performer for millions, he brings a deeply rich and multifaceted tapestry of experiences to his visual art.

When he isn’t immersed in his photography work, you might often find him tinkering with vintage automobiles, carefully crafting woodworking projects, savoring a cup of coffee or bourbon, listening to classic records, or exploring the beauty of the great outdoors.
