He has been a landscape architect and small town newspaper publisher, and lived in Georgia, Tennessee, and San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. He moved to Austin in 2006. As a landscape architect in San Antonio, Texas he designed the grounds of the Texas State Aquarium in Corpus Christi. While living in Mexico he photographed and produced the travelogue "A Video Postcard from San Miguel de Allende," as well as giving public photography lectures.

He has since expanded to watercolor and acrylics, and after trips to the American Southwest now specializes in large-scale landscape paintings of Texas and the Southwest.
