After graduating from Cornell and studying photography at RIT, I moved to the Hudson Valley where I have been a commercial photographer for the past 30 years. Most recently, I have been working as a digital imaging consultant. I have been married for 35 years and my wife, Nora, is an art director. We have grown twin daughters and three grandchildren. Our daughter Katie is a college administrator at SUNY Buffalo. She and her husband, Derrick, and son, Karl, live in the old farmhouse where I grew up. Our other daughter Beth is a project manager for a math software firm and lives with her husband, Pete, son Thomas, and daughter Emma in Boston.

Nora and I love to travel, especially to London and the British Isles, and also spend summer vacations at our family camp in the Adirondacks. I also enjoy collecting rock music and rooting for my favorite basketball team, the NJ Nets.
