After working in the newspaper and studio businesses for several years, I chose to leave professional photography in 1977 to pursue a career as a mechanical engineer. Over the years, I retained my interest in photography, and the advent of digital processing rekindled my passion. I was able to retire at the beginning of 2009 and began an encore career in photography with an emphasis on fine art large scale landscape and abstract figure photography.

In 2019 we relocated to Southwest Utah where I've been exploring night sky and astrophotography as both a form of science and art. One of my goals is to present astrophotography as a form of fine art rather than science. People can appreciate an image of a tree or a mountain without thinking about botany or geology; we should be able to look at a beautiful image of a nebula or galaxy without thinking of it as simply a scientific image. You can see an assortment of my astro images at the Utah Desert Remote Observatories website's image gallery..

With the help of my wife Deb and our two children, Cassandra and Christopher, we established the Uath Desert Remote Observatories operation in Southwest Utah to host remote telescope installations for astrophotographers from around the world.
