Born in New London, CT on December 13, 1967, I studied in URI, where I acquired a BFA in Photography. In Savanah College of Art and Design, I worked on my Masters in Photography.

Before IYRS I worked for United Airlines at TF Green airport,south of Providence. It was a line station so I did everything from the ticket counter, worked the gates, ran the jetway, loaded and unloaded baggage, cleaned the airplan, de-iced the plan.

Then it was IYRS. My best memory of IYRS were the teachers. They were and are amazing. After my graduation from IYRS, in 2006, I worked for Narraganssett Shipwrights from Jun 06-Dec 06, Loughbrough Marine Interest From Jan 07- Present. Currently working on a custom 48' sport fishing boat.
Whenever time permits, I am a scuba diver and love doing underwater photography. I have two boys PFC Zackarie Bradshaw who is in the US Army, now in Iraq since Nov 13, 2009, 19 years old and my little monkey Xavier who is 6 and loves boats.
