I was born and raised in Southwestern Pennsylvania. It was during my years as a Boy Scout that I developed an appreciation of the outdoors.

I now live 80 miles from Yosemite, where I spent my free time backpacking, hiking and photographing nature, landscapes and even wildlife.

A few years ago, I began to experience joint pain in both of my knees. Unfortunately, my doctors were not able to repair my knees, and now, both have been permanently fused straight.

With this new challenge, I now try and photograph my surroundings not by backpacking but by car-side or in short walks. I want the viewer to feel like they've just found a new location. This has prompted me to publish my first 120-page coffee table book called, 'Along the Road'.

My photographs have been featured in magazines and brochures, as well as in private homes of both national, and international, collectors.
