Who I am:

I currently reside in Saint Paul, Minnesota. I graduated from Bemidji State University in May of 2007 with a major in Business Administration and minor in Political Science.

I grew up in Pine River, Minnesota which is a small town with a population of approximately 1,000 people located approximately 30 miles north of Brainerd. I graduated from Pine River-Backus High School in 2003.

I'm a huge railfan, and was a railfan before I even knew what that was. I enjoy going out and taking pictures of trains. I enjoy model trains (O & HO scales) as well. This is more than a hobby for me, this is a passion. I frequently get asked, "why do you like trains so much?". The best answer I can provide is that I don't honestly know. Trains have always fascinated me. The size, power, sound and feel of a train as it passes you intrigues me. Trains have always had a place in my life and probably always will.

About my site:

My website is online to share my favorite rail related images with my visitors. I don't make any money off of my pictures, I simply post them so that other railfans have the opportunity to view them all over the world.

The galleries (sorted by railroad) contain what I feel are my best pictures. I strive to update my site on a regular basis.

What I use:

• Apple Intel iMac
• Apple PowerBook Titanium G4
• Canon PowerShot S3 IS
• Radio Scanners (to monitor railroad traffic)
