Rather than list a "resume" of every accomplishment Cecil has ever had or received, he would prefer you to look at his art to determine his qualifications. He does put a lot of work and pride into it, after all. He is up really early on some days, out really late some nights, and some days he does not sleep at all when in search of a photograph. He also spends quite a bit of time behind the keyboard in an effort to further perfect his art. He can only hope you see this dedication and pride in each of his photographs.  

Cecil does not have any art background at all. He didn't study under any of the big names in art or photography, in fact, he is self-taught. He simply picked up a camera some time ago, when his oldest son began playing sports. Even though he was 5, Cecil knew he would need good, sharp images to send to all the college scouts and coaches ten years in the future. That's when Cecil decided to purchase his first DSLR. He still blames his son. Soon after, he combined his love of photography with his love of the outdoors. Those two things fit together naturally.

Cecil lives in Huntsville, AL with his family that consists of a wife and 4 boys. They are all awesome.
