I was born in the Pittsburgh area of Pennsylvania, in 1956. Although I call that home, I have lived in Ohio, Florida, Texas, Idaho, Colorado, and the United Kingdom as well.

I received my first camera at the ripe old age of 8, and have never looked back. Though I have experienced life as a shoe salesman, pizza deliverer, lawnmower repairman, roofer, mountain rescue volunteer, fighter aircraft armament technician, missile warning computer technician, and web site tester, photography was always there.

Over the course of time, I have received over 50 awards from various sources, for my work. A number of pieces have been displayed in the Pentagon in Washington D.C. and a few small galleries, as well as being published in national magazines.

Despite being ‘successful’ in the medium, photography is more for personal satisfaction than anything else. Being able to convert my vision of the world, or even a particular scene, is something I find satisfying on quite a deep level. For the times I am able to capture that thought or vision on film, transfer it to paper, display it, and have that end product move another person on any level, then I consider that a ‘success’. None of the photographs contained herein, were done merely to record a place I have been...but were done to capture an emotion of the moment, from my point of view, that might otherwise have slipped away quite unnoticed.

It is my hope that each person viewing this collection might find one piece of work that they might relate to, in a way only they can. If not, then at least someone may be prompted to stop for a moment to observe a beautiful and unique moment in their own life, that might have otherwise slipped by. I always appreciate the attention paid to my work, as well as the time spent by anyone just visiting this site.
