Bio

Although my photography business is based out of Greensboro, I am a Randolph County native and live on my family's 150 acre beef cattle farm on Routh Road in Grays Chapel. A lot of my photography is done near my home, featuring family, friends, neighbors and local scenes. I grew up as the son of a dairy farmer/teacher and worked on the dairy until I left for UNC and a degree in Cultural Anthropology, and then Photography at Randolph Community College. My wife and I have two sons (and 2 daughter-in-laws) and we still work the farm, raising cattle and chickens, along with an extensive vegetable garden.
