25 years experience on fire dept with the last two spent in Marshals Bureau .. inspections and investigations relative to fire damage and or injury.

Have always had a camera and now want to take one more step .. write one more chapter in how photography has been a window to the world for me.

Married - 3 children - 3 grandchildren .. travel extensively every year .... 2009 was from NYC to Canada and then to the Caribbean .. 2010 was a flight from USA to Venice and 7 weeks in the Med....... 2011 will be a trip to Alaska

Freelance work has brought my pictures to the public in the Springfield News Sun daily paper and on WHIO-TV Ch 7 in Dayton Ohio.

Both Eurodam and Nieuw Amsterdam .. the two newest ships of the Holland America Line fleet have some of my work hanging on permanent display in the public areas of the medical department.

One of my pictures from a trip in 2006 to Hawaii and the South Pacific was chosen for an on line travel spotlight.
