I was born and raised in PA before going to college in VA (U of Richmond) and graduate school in CA (UC Davis). I spent five years on the East Coast in DC before moving to Phoenix in the Summer of 2019. I have been a Pentax user for the past ten years, owning a K7 (first DSLR), then a K3 and now a K1 Mk II. I am a self-taught enthusiast who likes to capture my outdoor adventures, the wonders of nature, local and global trips to new places, and city night scenes.
