Bio

Of those things in my life that were important, I selected seven.  My wife is number one, then comes my U. S. Army experience which gave me a better perspective on life.  Attitude is everything!  Followed by my career as a California State Park Ranger and horseman, then SCUBA diving which my wife enjoys with me, then our dogs Heidi, Cinnamon, Pepper, and Cocoa, in succession.  My study and practice of Aikido has had a lasting effect on me mentally, emotionally, and physically. And lastly our tenure on our property.  An urban brush fire destroyed our first house leaving us with little but charred remains and a few possessions salvaged from the ruins.  Recovering from that event and, together, rebuilding our present home, has been the life changing event second only to our marriage.

In all, having lived for 7 decades, I have a great appreciation for those specific things and for everything in between that made it all possible.

Thank you all

I now enjoy photography as a hobby and still dive and aspire to continue my practice of Aikido.

Photographing Dogs at Grape Street Dog Park in San Diego, and underwater photography while traveling the world are my most present interest.

Enjoy my portfolio.
