I've lived in southeastern Ohio most of my life, I developed an interest in equine photography shortly after returning home from Iraq. I joined the Army 2 years ago both to serve my country because I believe in what we stand for and to give my children a better life and am still currently enlisted. I am in the reserves with the 463rd Heavy Combat Engineers, it's a great group of men and women that I am proud to be with. I operate heavy equipment (dozers and such) which I really enjoy doing. I work full time at Applebee's as a broil cook, and help out here on the farm (BriarBey Black Arabians) I am also in school to improve my abilities with photography.  I am a proud father of 3 beautiful children, I raise them on my own (with the help of good ol' mom, thank the Lord for her) My oldest daughter is 7 and my twins a boy and a girl are 3 1/2, so I guess you can imagine that I have my hands full. You will certainly get to see plenty of pictures of them on my "photos for fun" page, I can't seem to get enough pictures of 'em.  I love to use a camera, just ask anyone that was with me in Iraq, they all made fun of me for taking so many pictures. I really enjoy photographing the Arabians, they are a beautiful breed of horse and have quite the personalities to say the least.
