Over the years I have been involved with students, young athletes and their
parents as a coach, parent and artist. As a sports photographer, it is exciting
to see the game through the lens and capture those special moments that no one

I have so many things to be thankful for... I live in a beautiful place along the water of a beautiful little lake in the gorgeous state of Washington. The wildlife here is incredible, the summer evenings on the lake are postcard perfect. I enjoy my art, whether it is photography, painting or sketching. It's wonderful to have such a diverse selection of activities in my daily life.
I also enjoy the company of my soul mate and wife of 40 years, Nancy.... who is definitely the "better" half!
Pastels and painting have become a rich part of my life now. I love to paint and this gives me the opportunity for trips into the wonderful mountains, tide areas and farmlands that surround our home.
