My photographic career began in 1966 as a Navy photographer deployed to the Vietnam War. My Professional photographic career  began in 1968, encompassing over 22 years of capturing and creating images on film and cinematography in a highly successful career as a professional sports photographer and freelance cinematographer with NFL Films. My professional portfolio spanned over three decades, encompassing all professional and college sports and dozens of company and corporate clientele.
​

​My love for art also inspired an additional career designing and owning successful art galleries.

​Upon retiring from the art gallery world, the lure of the camera, combined with my love and passion for the outdoors and the natural world, I turned passion to new photographic challenges, capturing familiar and not so familiar subjects through a fresh, redirected eye, always seeking out that one captivating image.
