SpotOn grew from my love for not only visual expression, but also business, marketing and global cultures. My work ethic and interest in the world were nurtured during my time serving in the United States Air Force. My love of photography began with a vacation to the Grand Canyon. It was the first time I truly invested in a camera. I quickly became hooked on photography and began trying to learn everything I could about it. I shot in auto mode for six months and then took a formal photography class while devouring photography-related books and videos. I further developed my craft by training with photographers in Houston, New York City, and Europe. It soon became apparent that this was more than a hobby…this is my passion.
