Bio

I am a retired veterinarian and life-long wildlife photographer. I have been shooting Nikon cameras for well over 50 years. I have traveled from The Arctic to Antarctica and many points in between to pursue my passion for nature photography. In addition to topside (land) wildlife photography, I am an avid underwater photographer as well. I have been fortunate to have been recognized in many prestigious photo competitions including Wildlife Photographer of the Year, Bird Photographer of the Year, WildArt Photographer of the Year, Natures Best, North American Nature Photographers and Journal of Wildlife Photography.
