Yes, I think place or one’s impression of place has a big impact on expression. Growing up in Michigan, my time was spent in the rural communities traditionally found in the American Midwest, as well as the urban and semi-urban environments of Detroit and Flint, Michigan.  Always attentive to the intrinsic value of these communities, these experiences help inform my photographic vision in that I aim to access the places and spaces many viewers either want to forget, have forgotten, or may have never noticed in the first place.

I do. When not pursuing art, much of my time is spent working in public health care and human services to maintain the social safety net.
