A
born and raised native of Wilmington, NC and the surrounding
area, my existence started when Edward Teach (Blackbeard)
would terrorize our coast with his beard ablaze and his cannons
loaded.... Aside from being a great great great great great
grandson of Edward Teach and having an insatiable desire
to fire a cannon upon unsuspecting boaters - my life began
as a boy growing up in Teachey, NC (Duplin County) and Carolina
Beach.
 When
I was 9 years old, my daddy bought me a complete Nikon F2
system - with all the bells and whistles. At the time, this
was a professional level camera and not generally found in
the hands of a child. I took thousands of photographs - much
to the delight of our local drug store's photo processing
lab. My interest in photography never waned. Today, I use
Canon and the Mac for everything. But that F2 still sits
on my shelf as a reminder of those simpler times. Now
I say "Analog sucks and Digital rules!" But
Ahhh, those were the days.....
I attended Harrells Christian Academy (Sampson County) from Kindergarten through
12th grade. I have a BS in Marine Biology from UNCW and a MS in Biology/Ecology
from the University of Guam. I went to school in Guam for 4 years - coming home
every Christmas and summer. My capabilities as a graphic designer developed while
I pursued a career in biology. Many of my friends in Guam are artists or designers
and their guidance and encouragement further sparked this interest. I truly enjoyed
my time spent in Guam but there is no place like being home in North Carolina.
I was the Commercial Production Manager & Webmaster for WECT TV-6 for
7 years and I am now a Biology instructor at a local college. I recently married the love of my life, Amy, and we like to play in our boat with our four
Jack Russell terriers. When not out on the water - Yuki, Peanut, Popcorn and Hana can usually be seen at the end of our pier, on the floating dock, barking at the passing boats..
Arrrrrr! There be a puppy on that boat! |
