I first became interested in photography more than 30 years ago. I was a photographer for our college yearbook and spent many long hours in the darkroom developing black and white prints. After graduating, however, I decided to be practical and pursue a career in financial services. While I did not completely give up my photography, I was only able to photograph sporadically for many years.

Over the years I found myself devoting more and more time to my photography.  Finally, after working in financial services for more than 20 years I decided to follow my passion and work full-time on my photography business in 2003.  Since then I have never regretted this decision.  While my days are less structured, every day brings a new challenge both in building a small business as well as honing my photographic skills.

Every year I try to spend at least 1/3 of my time on photography trips.  Since we moved to Washington state 3 years ago, I have been focusing my trips on the North American West and Japan.  Most of my images were taken in Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand and the US.

Since returning to the US, I have been marketing my images as fine art photographic prints.  Currently 4 galleries in Washington state represent my work.  I also work with 3 photo stock agencies in the US, Japan and the UK.  My images have been published in several magazines including Nature's Best, Nature Photographer, Gulfshore Life and Japan Photo Contest.
