I am a native of Southern New Jersey. In 1970, I graduated from the Antonelli School of Photography in Philadelphia. After graduation, I served in the U. S. Air Force as a photographer and was stationed in Southern California. After I left the Air Force, I continued to live on the Mojave Desert where I was employed as a photographer at the Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex for the next five years. After that, I was a civilian photographer for the Marine Corps for another five years. While in California, I graduated from the University of Redlands.

In 1984, I was fortunate to get the opportunity to combine my interests of American history, government, architecture, and photography by accepting a position at the U. S. Capitol in Washington, DC. I continue to work at the Capitol where I am the Senior Photographer for the Architect of the Capitol. I currently live in Virginia.

My personal work reflects my interests in history, architecture, and landscape photography. I use a variety of cameras either to match the subject or just because I feel like doing something different. I am fond of old Crown Graphics. I recently cut up an old Graphic to make a 5x7 wide angle camera for field use. I also like to use the Bronica ETRSi system because of the completeness of the system and it's portability in the field. Recently, I have been using a Fuji TX-1 (aka Hasselblad XPAN) for panoramic work.
