"I uprooted it from the past and took from it the memories...and I planted the tree of my soul in another place."
Kahill Gilbran

My fascination with photography began in the late sixties while, as a high school student, I worked for a weekly newspaper in my hometown of Utica, Michigan. What began as youthful curiosity eventually evolved into a career that has spanned over thirty years.
During the course of my career I have worked as a news and a corporate photographer. I have shot for newspapers, magazines, advertising agencies, public relations firms, and non-profit organizations. I also have exhibited my work in many galleries in the Detroit area and beyond. Most recently I have worked as a member of the adjunct faculty at Macomb Community College in Warren, Michigan.
For me, photography serves as a bridge; a bridge that can create understanding between individuals; a bridge between my inner self and the outer man; and finally as a bridge that can help us understand how we, as members of the human family, can relate to and find our place within the larger physical world.
The common thread that runs through all of my work is the passion that I bring to it. I am continually looking for new ways to express my personal vision and to bring energy and excitement to my assignment work.
