I had to update this section recently. I used to be a major coffee snob, loving unique blends perfectly ground and measured for pour over, but I actually quit consuming caffeine at the start of 2021. It was a challenge at first but is so freeing now! I still LOVE coffee, but tend to get a french press of black decaf, or the occasional seasonal drink like a decaf pumpkin spice, or mint mocha.

It is always fun to take a short trip down to Lawton, OK to hang out at the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge.
But when I have some more time and can take a true camping vacation I am in love with Crested Butte, Colorado, and I cannot wait to get back there again.
We love to camp in the National Forest. No running water, no electricity, no people. Just peace, quiet, and pure beauty.

I have a degree in Interpersonal Communications from the University of Central Oklahoma, which is through the Mass Communications program. Originally, I was planning on pursuing a career in ministry but kept being pulled in the broadcast direction. While I graduated with an Interpersonal Communications degree, I probably had enough Broadcast Comm credits to have earned that degree instead.

I have worked in production as long as I can remember. When I was around 12 years old I began volunteering with the church tech team. After college I worked for several different TV stations including News on 6 in Tulsa, as well as working for Royal Caribbean International. While most of my career has been Video Production, I have always loved photography, and so much of videography directly translates to photo.
These days, in addition to photography, I work for UCO in Edmond with the Center for eLearning and Connected Environments, doing video and photo for on-line classes.
