What a journey this has been and continues to be. I was born in Alabama by my wonderful parents, Bill and Terry Dickey. We moved around a lot while I was young but settled in St. Louis Missouri by the time I was 7 and that is where I grew up. Went to college at The University of Missouri. Graduated with a business management and photography degree in 1988. I got a job working as a photographer for The Cruise Ship Picture company right out of college. This was a great experience and got me out of Missouri.
