Passions

I am passionate about the simple things in life such as a hot cup of coffee in the morning or sipping a pint of Ireland’s best while in Dublin, experiencing new destinations with friends, enjoying the great outdoors on a warm sunny day or riding my bike on one of the many quiet country roads in Tuscany.

Favorite Trip

I am often asked what has been my favorite trip and that is a bit like trying to tell someone which one of your children is your favorite. If I had to choose, it would probably be a toss up between Tuscany and New Zealand for completely different reasons.

Key Possession

For 10 years I lived without a home address, a car, not even a storage unit so my material possessions consisted of my camera, my laptop and enough outdoor gear for any situation. So my most valued possessions would have to be all the images that I have captured over the years.
