I am an artist, a professional natural history photographer and photographic educator who resides in Will County, Illinois. I’ve photographed throughout North America, making the Midwest his primary geographic area of interest. My love of history, especially the maritime history of the Great Lakes, kindles a special interest in the ports, shorelines, islands and natural areas of Lakes Michigan and Superior and their surrounding environs. Midwestern prairies and hardwood forests are other primary areas of interest.

I have numerous workshop, tour, publication, etc, etc., credits but who cares!

I currently am a Board Member of NANPA (North American Nature Photography Association) and on a number of their committees including the Regional Events committee. I am a charter member.

I’ve been in commercial and nature photography for more than forty years.
