About Me

I’ve spent 35 years as an Adventure Consultant, River & Mountain Guide, and Photographer. I have helped top brands perfect their products by tough testing and consulting on design and function. In 2004, After surviving a lightning strike resulting in severe internal burns, I nearly died of Lyme and later, mold toxicity. Finding Hoshindo (Japanese Bee Venom Meridian Therapy) and Ampuku (Japanese Organ Acupressure) saved my life.(Hoshindohealingartsinstitute.org)

I also a volunteer with Taos Search and Rescue and teach Swift Water Rescue. Recently deputized by Taos County Sheriffs Dept. as a Swift Water Deputy Instructor. Having survived my life’s Disasters, I am Developing products for effective Disaster Response in addition to actively researching, speaking, consulting, and coaching those with degenerative neurological diseases like lyme, COVID Long, MS, Fibro, RA, Parkinson’s. I am currently seeking novel solutions for these and other diseases stemming from my experience with Bee Venom Acupuncture. If you’d like to support my mission of developing clinical trials to test and isolate solutions- or agree with working towards a greater harmony between humanity and nature, please subscribe. Lots of amazing things coming down the pipeline for helping people live through crisis.

My Journey

1975

1975

First near Lightning Strike, While in Covington, GA, at my Grandmothers place, I was riding my tricycle under the awing on her porch, during a heavy thunderstorm- and out of the sky- Boom! My first “close call” with Lightning! Across the street was a Gulf gas station sign that took the direct hit igniting the sign into a fire ball of plastic burning and electrical sparks. Several years later, I witnessed a second direct hit into a house just behind the very same Gulf station, this time catching the houses roof on fire!

1rst Life Pivot. My Father died in a car accident, ejected from the vehicle (not wearing his seat belt) I was 14, yet I saw his death as his “gift” teaching me to understand inner anger as a root of a poisonous tree that can grow until it kills you. In my opinion, his abusive father broke his spirit. My father never knew his younger brother, due to the competition for seeking his father’s love, which he never got.

My Brother, Henry “Jackson” Fullbright 4th- His first solo of an airplane, before able to drive a car.
Ever since a baby, his first drawings were airplanes, and he was obsessed with flying.

1984

Joined Project Ocean Search, hosted by Jean-Michael Cousteau, of the “Cousteau Society” in British Virgin Islands. We did underwater science and observation of marine life and I also learned under water photography from the Cousteau Society senior photographer, Scott Frier. While in BVI I was also introduced to world famous treasure hunter, Burt Kilbride, and his son. Interviewing with the Cousteau scientists gave me more insights into my dream of becoming a professional Oceanographer.

First solo in mountains- Rode on the Durango-Silverton train to Elk Park, and spent a week hiking Vestal Peak, and Electric Lake, shooting my first images using my deceased father’s Nikon FM(1964)… It was a powerful experience to be alone with minimal supplies and big electrical storms daily.

Adventure and Nature

Working in the Outdoor Industry as a professional photographer and guide cemented my relationship with nature. The Natural world has been my place for healing and rejuvenation. Months of work, planning and collecting all the equipment and supplies for Expeditions was a lifestyle rewarded by quiet, and clarity once on the projects, Stress was real in relation to objective dangers like Rockfall from Ibex Sheep or Avalanche, but not like the financial or social stresses of “society”. Throughout my life I have sought to live in a greater harmony within myself and nature.

My photography plays on this relationship and bends time.
