I grew up in Northeast Pennsylvania in the highest city. It is anthracite coal country and home of the Poconos. Our state has kept up and beautified many state parks that I hunted, hiked, and fished. Years back I hung up my hunting clothes and picked up a camera. Especially when I found that I actually loved buffalo meat more than the game I hunted for. Over the years I brought my camera whenever I hiked, mountain biked, or fished. My formal education is in Commercial and High-end Interior Design. I’ve learned to appreciate fine art and enjoyed Eastern and Western Southern Florida while I attended the Art Institute. Though I never pursued a career in photography I really enjoy advancing in my hobby.
