I became interested in photography in the early 1970’s when a friend of mine let me use his 35 mm camera to shot a roll of black and white film. This led to the purchase of my first camera, a 35 mm Mamiya / Sekor. Several years later I upgraded to a Pentax. In 2003 I purchased a Canon Digital Rebel and have been taking digital photos since then. I upgraded to a Canon 40D in 2007 then to a Canon 6D in 2015.

I began to show my photos in 2004 and won 3rd place for a photo titled "Nectar Break". Each year I have entered local Art Shows and have won ribbons for my photos.

My photo titled "Jaspar on Roof" was published in the "Cat Welfare Association 2007 Calendar" representing the month of September. "Peony" was awarded a first place in 2008. "Weathered Tree" won 3rd place in 2013. "Morning Light" won first place and "2 Tone Dahlia" won honorable mention in 2015.

In 2014 I joined my wife in a studio at Western Avenue Studios in Lowell, Mass. and displayed my work there until June of 2017.
