About Me



Passion





I graduated high school from a small town south of San Antonio Texas. For as long as I can remember I have been passionate about photography. The first time I held a camera was at the age of 5. I remember my mother asking me what I wanted for my birthday. There was this small store downtown that sold miscellaneous items. Probably the equivalent to a Dollar General. I remember telling her that I wanted a camera. This camera that she bought me used a cartridge of film that was circular. I remember seeing the film very small after it was processed. I took that camera and started shooting until all the exposures were done. My mother took me to process the film and I remember the pictures came out terrible. I couldn’t understand why the pictures that I took didn’t come out the way I had seen them in my mind. All the pictures were blurry and underexposed. So, from then on, I just used the viewfinder to look through the camera and capture what I thought was a good shot in my mind. Probably making the clicking sound.


I enlisted in the military in 1996 and eventually retired. I have spent most of my career building businesses part-time, some prolific and some not. All my businesses were started with the idea of learning in mind. From calling cards, vitamins, jewelry, real estate to screen printing, I was always wanting to learn about that business. Building a business allowed me the opportunity to learn and find revenue in what I was interested in. I eventually received a degree in Management and Computer Information Systems. I received my Master’s Degree from The University of Texas at Austin in Technology and Commercialization. Now I am pursuing my MBA in business analytics. So, business has been in my blood for a long time. I started my first business when I was 16 years old, but worked with a classmate of mine when we were just 8 yr, working on neighbor’s yards. I don’t’ know if you can call that a business, but we made enough money to buy a lawnmower. I don’t want to compare myself to other photographers because I would like to think that I can have my own style. The one thing that I am sure of is that I am passionate about photography.
