More Information: I work from my home office and drink too much coffee as an IT Manager for a retail company. I used to do their product photography before moving to the other side of the state; it was a disappointment passing that on to someone else. I've also shot exactly one wedding, and oddly enough, I would do it again. I'm interested in music (listening to and the playing of), photography, firearms, 4x4's, and anything related to the ocean.
