I love America and the gift of life itself, creating this site to share moments captured in this wonderful country.

My photography skills are evolving. While much of what I shoot is tied to motorsports and machinery, this site is about people that love, operate, and protect the U.S.A..  My bias towards a motorized topic is simple—I grew up in a family that appreciates the American automobile.  I have learned the same type of people also love this wonderful country. 

Since I was a kid I have hauled around a camera trying to capture moments of friends, family, and coworkers, each telling a story by itself.  While I may jot down thoughts in blog posts, I find that it is much easier to take a photo and let the viewer figure out the story.

My professional roots are in state and federal law enforcement, now operating a small business with my wife, Shay. The path has allowed me to see much of the U.S.A. and abroad, meeting and talking to wonderful people. Each with a particular story of their own.

Lastly, about the website’s unusual name—a mixture of my love for America and memories of a lost buddy.  Dogs can have a wonderful effect on their owner’s life.  Mine was no different and became an exceptional retriever of what he was seeking.  I hope you do the same.
