I love to laugh with my wife and daughter... My wife and daughter are the joys of my life... I enjoy good food, especially good burgers... I never turn down an IPA, although I have shy'd away from a Double IPA a couple of times... I believe I make a MEAN pasta salad... Nine times I have run and finished a marathon, including two Boston Marathons... I played soccer for many years until I separated my shoulder and wasn't the same player afterwards... My sport of passion is baseball... My current favorite shows on TV are Chopped and Restaurant Impossible... I love light... Therefore, I love shadows too... I love the challenge of making awesome photographs for you... Making a photograph for you is what I do...
