I grew up in Miami, Florida and earned a great respect for water and nature while visiting and paddling through the Everglades and Florida Keys. My education took me to Florida State University, where I earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Marketing. I pursued a Retail Management career over 40 years. I love adventure, travel, and discovering new places. I have been behind a lens since I was a teenager, capturing images of nature, wildlife, people, and events, with over 1M images in my portfolio. I invested two and a half years as a full time Wedding and Family photographer in 2010 and 2011. I am now a Full-Time photographer. This enables me to pursue my passion for Landscape, Nature, Wildlife, Cultures, people, fashion, couture, and lifestyle photography. I like to call it "A celebration in photography of this amazing world we live in". My most recent projects are paddling the many Spring Fed-Rivers in Florida (There are over 700 of them), with my total count at 9 now. I travel to Florida in the winter months for golf and cool temperatures, and avoid the crowds on the rivers during these months. My love for Travel has taken me to Europe, Costa Rica, The Hawaiian Islands, The Caribbean, Canada, and to far corners of the United States with its many National Parks, and Preserves of Nature and Wildlife. I love Golf, Florida State Sports, Fitness, Flying (I am a licensed Private Pilot), Water Sports, Kayak Paddling, Cooking, and of course, Photography!
Black and White photos are magnificent in Deserts, Beaches, and water features. Some Florals are amazing in Black and White as well. Please enjoy these, as they are often duplicated in other color sections.
Please see my Investment page for requests of images.
