My love of the great outdoors began when my parents took me camping
at the early age of one. That was the beginning of my
strong interest in outdoor activities. Graduating from UCLA with a
degree in Engineering and working several years on the space program
as an engineer did not satisify me so I turned my energy to
photography. Managing a Graphic Arts Firm and studio along with
outdoors portraits and wedding photography kept my fingers busy and
my creative eye energized. The next ten years were spent in the
classroom at
the high school level and another five years teaching college field
classes in nature photography, astronomy, and geology for UC Santa
Cruz, UC Santa Barbara and Northern Arizona U. Operating a Whitewater
Rafting Company and Tour Company in the Southwest occupied my time for many
more years. Today my days are filled with wedding
photography, whitewater raft guiding, hiking and photographic tours.
Living in Mariposa, Ca., puts me in the heart of the Sierra Nevada
and Yosemite National Park. When not working, I can usually be found
hiking, rafting, kayaking, caving or just taking photographs of the many
places where I travel. Non-outdoor interests might find me doing photo
restorations on my computer, playing bridge or playing scrabble with friends.

accomplishments. Most photos in my nature gallery are for sale on archival paper.
