I’ve spent most of my life learning how to work with both my hands and my mind. Over the years, that’s taken me through banking, ministry, technical repair work, photography, cycling, and a growing interest in agriculture and small business. While those paths may seem very different on the surface, they’ve all shaped the person I am and the one I am becoming.
These days, I work in the fastener and tool industry while also building creative projects that reflect the things I care about most — faith, community, the rural South, and the beauty that can still be found in ordinary places (nod to Wendell Berry).
Much of my photography comes from early mornings on backroads throughout Mississippi and Louisiana, often during cycling rides when the fog is low and the world feels quiet for a moment. Those scenes remind me that there is meaning and beauty even in places many people pass by without noticing.
Like you, perhaps, my life has carried both joy and deep loss, and those experiences have given me a greater appreciation for authenticity, perseverance, and human connection. I’m drawn to honest conversations, meaningful work, and creating things that tell a story — whether through photographs, writing, cycling, or simply investing in the people around me.
At heart, I’m someone trying to build a life rooted in purpose, creativity, faith, and a genuine love for the people and places that make up the Southern landscape.
