About


Professor.

Photographer.

Piper.

So, no shit, there I was…

There’s nothing all that exceptional about me or my story. I’m riding the big blue marble around the sun, one revolution at a time, like pretty much everyone else.

I am a Lutheran pastor and professor.

I am a photographer who’s most interested with captures that expand my vision and imagination.

I am a bagpiper.

Firstly, I am a husband and father.

My name is Sam. Technically, Samuel. I use “S.D.” for professional purposes. Probably to sound pretentious, but maybe not.
