I'm a lifetime resident of the beautiful Pacific Northwest region of the United States. My interests are wide-ranging. Music has been a huge part of who I am for 27 years. Having just turned 40, I picked up my first instrument (the trumpet) in grade 5. Politics, current events & news, compositional modalities both of the digital variety as well as the pen upon paper method (which seems to be disappearing).

Photography and image editing are more accessable than ever with the widespread ubiquitous nature of the smart phone. Without my Samsung Galaxy, I don't believe I would have pursued my interest in photography due to all the "gear" one needs such as a decent camera (think brands like Nikon, Canon, Pentax), different types of lenses depending on what you are shooting, the lighting, the list is long.

Baseball, sports in general, films, tech - I could probably go on forever but there you have it. A small slice of who I became having walked this earth for 40 years. I recently celebrated the big 4 - 0. How do I feel? Like a 40 year old cisgender heterosexual male living in a nondescript neighborhood in an American city in the Pacific Northwest.

Lie to your boss, lie to your partner, whatever, but if you lie to me & you will have lost a great friend, a loyal man, an accomplished guy who underwent a drastic paradigm shift. My metamorphosis.
