MY STORY

I was born in March of 1950, in San Jose, California, previously lived in New Mexico and now reside in Henderson, Nevada. My immediate family resides in the Bay Area; which gives me reason to share my time between California and Nevada. My youth was spent in Santa Clara Valley.  In the 1950’s, it was an agricultural mecca of vegetable farms and fruit orchards. Today, it is referred to as "Silicon Valley," where computer companies, mega businesses and freeways are predominant.

I am a Vietnam Era Veteran having actively served during the years of 1970-1972, in the United States Navy on board the USS Neptune.

In 1974, while attending De Anza College in California, I discovered a passion for photography. At the onset, I enjoyed some success with photography classes and photo competitions. Today, some of those photographs hang in the homes of my family and friends.  

I completed my education at Saint Mary's College of Moraga, California. Today after retiring from both United Parcel Service and Delta Air Lines, my photography continues with a privilege of worldwide travel.

As you view my collection, my desire is that you will enjoy these images as I have seen them.  My favorite example is of the photograph simply titled, "Keep on Truckin."  A pickup truck with immense character, parked in a field in Alaska with fractured windows, bent lights and dented fenders, speaks of years of arduous days.
