I have been interested in photography since high school. Originally planning to pursue photography as a career, I ended up working in the newspaper field for mostly weekly newspapers for nearly 20 years.

My interest in photography has recently been rekindled. Instead of taking photos for news happenings, I now enjoy taking photos of things that I see interesting.

Currently a rural letter carrier with USPS, I travel miles of country gravel roads each day. Many of the photos I have taken are along my route or are located in west central Iowa.

Although no longer working full time in the newspaper industry, I serve as state editor for the Iowa Rural Letter Carriers' Association and publish a monthly union newsletter.
