As a native Texan and Cherokee citizen, I am drawn to the
extreme beauty of nature, especially in the Llano Estacado and Palo Duro Canyon
regions. The Texas Panhandle holds endless secrets and hidden beauty just
waiting to be discovered. I am always on the lookout for new adventures and
breathtaking landscapes to capture through photos and video.
In addition to my love for art and history, I have a strong
background in engineering. I graduated with a degree in Electrical Engineering
from Texas Tech University and have since worked on numerous projects, focusing
on automated test equipment and enterprise software applications. My technical background
in engineering has provided me with a unique perspective to combine my passions
for nature and art with an understanding of innovative technologies.
Throughout my career, I have been on the bleeding edge of
rapid prototyping technology. As these technologies have become more
affordable, I have incorporated them into my personal lab. Laser
cutting/engraving and 3D printing are two notable examples of how I have used
these advancements to enhance both my professional work and artistic endeavors.
I am committed to exploring the beauty of nature and the
rich history of the Llano Estacado and Palo Duro Canyon regions. Whether it's uncovering ancient Paleo-Indian sites, retracing
the steps of Spanish explorers, or studying the dynamics of the last Indian
tribes and the settlers, I am always eager to learn more about the world around
me.
Join me on my journey as I balance my professional
accomplishments with my passion for art, history, and the natural world, guided
by the words of Psalm 139:8: "If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if
I make my bed in the depths, you are there." Let's
embark on this adventure together, celebrating the beauty of our planet and the
rich tapestry of cultures and histories that have left their indelible mark on
the land.
