I’m a solo dad of three, structural designer, self-taught guitarist, and coffee enthusiast with a passion for photography. My blog, Blueprints and Backroads: A Dad’s Perspective on Strength and Structure, captures the strength and beauty of America’s landscapes and infrastructure — the bridges, beams, and backroads, and lakes that hold this country together — all through the lens of a dad raising kids and finding resilience in every frame.
