Summary
I photographed weddings, events and people from the early 1990s til 2016 when an accident resulted in paralysis from the chest down. I worked various part time jobs like Home Depot and went to the University of Texas to learn web design. In 2021 I discovered drones and pursued a pilots license to renew my passion for photography. My wife and I started WeDrone.us and I have been pursuing the passion of drone photography since.
