I've been photographing professionally for over three decades. My work is a mix of editorial and advertising assignments, along with prints for the fine art market. I love photographing landscapes, the natural world and active outdoor people. I also like bad weather, good conversation, jazz and the mountains. Though I've mainly lived in Pennsylvania, business and pleasure have brought me West frequently. Eight years ago I discovered Salida, Colorado, and now am proud to call it home.
