A starting point...

On the set of Mahogany Sunrise

Hello, I live near Boerne, TX a small city outside of San Antonio, a popular tourist destination for its Riverwalk, Tex-Mex food and of course the legendary Alamo. I live here with my wife, two daughters and twin sons.

I'm a Network Engineer and my work has allowed me to travel the world to places I would probably never get to visit.

I'm also an aspiring filmmaker and screenwriter. My interests are travel, music, art, photography, gardening and film. Become a fan of my independent film Mahogany Sunrise.

"Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for. " - Joseph Addison

Beijing, China and the Great Wall at Mutianyu

One of the seven wonders!

It was very impressive standing on the great wall one of the amazing wonders of the world, so much so my friend and I kept saying "dude we're on the great wall!"

Tashkent, Uzbekistan

A park in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.

Uzbekistan is a very interesting place rich in history. I visited Taskent, "Stone City", in the Summer of 2004. Before I arrived there was news of terrorist attacks which made me apprehensive at first to come here. I was fortunate to have made friends with the people I came to work with and their Uzbek hospitality was phenomenal as they showed me around the city. My reservations were forgotten as I ventured around the city and found the people very friendly.

I was fascinated with the old world Uzbekistan and the era of Tamerlane juxtaposed with the post-Soviet influences. Food is very tasty and travel here is very inexpensive. I wanted to make a trip to Samarkand but my company told me I had to come home.

Bangkok, Thailand

Shangri-la Hotel Bangkok, Thailand.

Bangkok is a place like none other I have ever seen. The city was truly a mad mix of traffic, pedestrians, sights, sounds, smells and architecture. The city was very modern and very 3rd world at the same time. I traveled in the summer of 2004 to Bangkok coming from Beijing a stark contrast in cultures. Thai food is excellent!

Alaskan Northern Exposure.

Near Portage Lake Alaska

My first time this far north was great in Anchorage. It took sometime to adjust to the constant sunlight but it afforded us time to sight see all day! Great Alaskan King crab and salmon!

Mt Etna

The mountain was omnipresent as it loomed over Catania and the surrounding area. I traveled up and around the volcano but missed catching a glimpse of the lava flowing. It was a bit unerving watching the plume coming from the crater.
