I was born in the 1950's in suburban Chicago. At 18 I enlisted in the military and was active duty for 7 years. Graduated from college in 1987 with a degree in Graphic Arts. I worked in the industry for 14 years.

Today I work in a retail store in Naperville, IL

Photography is a hobby I have enjoyed for many years. I have an Olympus FE-230 (point & shoot) and a Canon REBEL XTi digital SLR. (The XTi was a Christmas present to myself 2007.)

Most of my photos are mapped in case you are interested to see where they were taken.
