My wife, Terri and I live south of Prairie Grove, AR on seven acres, with our chocolate lab, Suzy. Our land is mostly wooded and steep and has become a wildlife sanctuary of sorts, lots of birds, deer, and other critters to photograph and watch. The area is know as Cove Creek, thus the name. 

We were both raised in South Arkansas (Camden). We moved to Cove Creek in 2005 and have grown to love this part of Arkansas. Mainly, because of the unique landscape and abundant photo opportunities.

I make a living as President of the Northwest Division with Bank of the Ozarks. My passion is nature photography and most of my free time is spent outdoors taking pictures.

Terri and I have five kids between us. Kandi Jo and her husband Chris live in Las Vegas. Jason and his wife Leslie live in the Dallas area. Bryan, his wife Amy, and the grandkids, Caden & Courtney live in Richmond, VA. Whitney and her husband Nick live in Benton, AR, as well as the newest addition William Nicholas Steele, born April 26, 2010. The youngest, Jordan lives in Pine Bluff, AR.

I serve on the Northwest Arkansas Advisory Council of The Nature Conservancy(www.tnc.org) in Northwest Arkansas. They do tremendous work in this area concerning water quality and protection of endangered or threatened species. My favorite Preserve is Smith Creek, located on the south side of  Boxley Valley, near Ponca. As you can tell from my photos, I spend a lot of time there, throughout the year.

I hope you like what you see.

Some of my photographs are on display in the offices of Steve Bertram, CPA in Fayetteville and in the Bank of the Ozarks lobby in Jasper.
