Since the early 80s, I have shared my photographic experiences and love of nature with thousands of individuals through more than 300 photo classes, workshops, lectures, and tours in both the U.S. and abroad including Kenya, Iceland, Newfoundland, the Falkland Islands, the Brazilian Pantanal, South Dakota Badlands, Bosque del Apache, Chincoteague NWR, Tangier Island, etc.  Program sponsors have included zoos, nature centers, camera clubs, universities, and conservation organizations such as National Wildlife Federation, the National Aquarium, the Baltimore Zoo, and the Assateague Island Alliance.  I have written “How To” articles on nature photography for national publications such as Shutterbug’s Outdoor and Nature Photography, Outdoor Photographer, and Birding.  My images have appeared in magazines, calendars, and books published by National Wildlife Federation, Natural History Society, and National Geographic. Publishing credits include the book, “Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge, an Ecological Treasure.”

I am strong supporter of wildlife conservation.  With over 30 years working as an environmental scientist, my background enables me to discuss and document threats to wetlands, barrier islands, and other critical wildlife habitats.  The top areas of concern include the Chesapeake Bay, coastal wetlands, and the Mid-Atlantic barrier islands.  I am a frequent judge and speaker at camera clubs with live presentations and more than 50 zoom programs on wildlife, bird, and garden photography plus locations such as Assateague National Seashore, Chincoteague NWR, and Tangier Island. I am a charter Member of the North American Nature Photographers Association (NANPA) and am a member of the Photographic Society of America (PSA).  For Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge, as a volunteer, I provide images for interpretive materials, their website, and displays.  On my website you can find a listing of upcoming photo workshops and blogs on a variety of nature related topics.
