I was born and raised in the Detroit metro area of Michigan. I'm a Native American and a proud member of the Lumbee tribe.
Traveling and adventure have been a constant through out my life. My camera is always with me.
During my 20's I drove everywhere one can in my trusty 79 Mustang. Together we visited each of the 48 continental states and Alaska.
My first visit to Hawaii was in 1984. I would return often until my move to the Big Island of Hawaii in 1991.
After my first visit to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park I was hooked and knew this was where I wanted to stay. The park is constantly changing with each eruption. There's nothing like hiking the barren lunar landscape and walking amongst hot flowing lava. Of course it wasn't always like that. When I first started hiking the lava flows the area was still heavily forested.
I'm fortunate enough to enjoy both hiking and photography. You really need to love hiking to be a avid volcano photographer.
Gear doesn't last long in the volcanoes hostile environment.
