Crux Fermentation Project, Bend Oregon

September 2016 Whenever I am in Bend Oregon, I try and venture out to visit as many local breweries as I can to have a chance to taste test the beers that are usually always really good. On a trip last year I visited Crux in Bend, met up with a co-worker and we had a…

Landing in Atlanta

August 2017 I’ve been flying on airplanes since I was around 6 years old when my parents would put me on a plane and send me to Chicago Illinois to spend summers with my grandparents. I don’t know why but flying still completely fascinates me every time I get on a plane (which is usually…

Lake Champlain, Burlington Vermont

August 2017 Took a recent business trip to Montreal Canada and flew into Burlington Vermont to then drive across the border into Canada to my work site.

Georgia Day Trip

July 2017 I recently moved from California to Georgia with my family a few months ago and have been busy getting unpacked, settled and set-up for a while now.  Turns out moving cross-country is a lot more work than I originally anticipated!

Erie Canal, Lockport New York

Scenes from Austin Texas

September 2016 My work travels have taken me to Austin Texas several times over the past couple of decades and every time I’ve gone there I’ve enjoyed the town immensely. From the great food (especially the BBQ), to the 6th Street bar, art and music scene to the bats under the 6th Street bridge and the trails around…

B&W Photography, Amsterdam NL

Photography is my art. I love taking photos and trying to compose a nice scene to make a subject look interesting. Most of my photography is of buildings and places but I like to take pictures of almost anything that I think really captures the look and feel of a person, place or thing.

Teotihuacan Pyramids, Mexico City Mexico

August 2016 While working in Mexico City Mexico I had an extra day in town and since it was my first time ever to Mexico I was compelled to do some exploring and had heard from a friend about some nearby ancient pyramids from a civilization that pre-dated the Aztecs by over 500 years.
