With The Pack

I was raised on a farm in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, a religiously conservative part of the country and home for many Amish and Mennonite farmers.  Unlike others in my community, my family had a liberal view on things and many of my family members were artists.   At age 18 I joined the Navy out of a desire to leave Lancaster, and was immediately sent to Vietnam. Three more years in the Navy took me to 22 different countries.

After my military discharge I spent five years hitchhiking around the U.S. and Canada, as well as working the family farm with my four brothers.  Later I graduated from The Ringling School of Art and Design In Florida and eventually moved to Virginia, where I found work as a graphic designer.  I began experimenting with my photography using the computer equipment in my office.
