In 2023, I lost my wife and partner of 34 years after her courageous two-year journey with stage 4 terminal cancer. Together, we spent 30+ years designing, building, and maintaining large residential and estate gardens—a shared passion that shaped both our work and our lives.
In the wake of her passing, I turned to what had always grounded us: the healing power of nature, movement, and meaningful work. Whether it's getting outside, riding the trails, kayaking calm waters, or working out at the local YMCA, I’ve learned that motion truly is lotion—for both the body and the soul.
Through this website and my social media platforms, I’m sharing that journey forward. My goal is simple: to encourage others—especially those navigating loss or seeking renewal—to get outdoors, get moving, and find joy in the everyday beauty that surrounds us
I've always had a love affair with technology—anything with buttons, blinking lights, or a camera lens is fair game. Now, I'm putting that passion to work, capturing high-quality video and audio, along with high definition photographs captured with my Nikon, as I regularly rub elbows (and sometimes knees) with Mother Nature. Whether it's through the respectful use of a drone (I am FAA Part 107 Certified UAS Pilot), the splash of a paddle, or the crunch of gravel beneath my bike tires, I'm sharing real-life outdoor experiences, one pixel at a time.
And finally, I’ll be sharing something deeply personal and close to my heart—my experiences through the pages of my outdoor journal, and the story I captured in the book I wrote about Cheryl and our two-year journey together following her stage 4 cancer diagnosis. It's a story of love, resilience, and finding peace in nature, even in the hardest of times. My hope is that these reflections not only honor her legacy but also inspire others to embrace the healing power of the outdoors, and to keep moving forward—because motion is, indeed, lotion for the body and soul.
