I grew up in New York, but in 1970, to avoid the U.S. military draft, I moved to Venezuela, where I found work on a nougat plantation. I made my way back to the USA in 1985, where I got a job as a rodeo clown at Bee World Amusement Park in Beeville, Texas. When Bee World was shut down after the notorious killer bee scandal in 1991, the only job I could find was on the housekeeping crew at the local Sears. Things were hard for a while, but then I transferred to Austin when a position was offered at the Sears Portrait Studio in the downtown store. It was there that I was finally able to exploit my passion for photography, and I hope to do so for many years to come.

I have not been diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

I used to be strong and light on my feet.
