I am a retired biology and leadership teacher who loves the out of doors. I have been involved with photography my whole life, but my interest has really been reborn with the coming of the digital camera. I make images because it is fun and rewarding and I like to look at them

In my lifetime I have been a construction worker, paperboy, gas station attendant, city crew worker, paper mill worker, surveyors helper, football player, basketball player, shot-putter, baseball player, teacher, mentor, friend, fly fishing instructor, fly tier, fisherman, hunter, dog trainer, environmentalist, bird watcher, Trout Unlimited President, father, husband, son, football, basketball, and track coach, student government advisor, college football player, leader of an environmental group, custom rod builder, dog trainer, writer, and all of these life experiences make me a better photographer.
