Born and raised in Sugarland, Texas, I graduated from TSU University and became a military medic as well as photographer. After retiring from the military, I worked as a Photographer for the University of Texas San Antonio Institute of Texan cultures for many years. During this time, I became the photographer of the MLK March from the beginning of the march to today (2024). I write and perform gospel music as well as my own music on a regular basis. I have worked in the prison ministry for many years performing my music across Texas to uplift souls.

My work has spanned over 5 decades. I completed training in photography under military courses as well as under Ansel Adams. My work at the Institute of Texas Cultures and the University of Texas continued my tradition of excellence. I have spent many decades also traveling to prisons to fulfill my mission of music ministry. I have diplayed exhibits of MLK photography over many years at the MLK Interfaith Service, the Carver Cultural Center, the County Exhibition space, as well as the City of San Antonio Airport. I have performed in Black History events at the San Antonio Public Library and other spaces with a special program of historical gospel music as well. Prior to my current artistic ventures, I served in the instructional fields teaching dance, photography, nursing, and medic training.
