My interest in photography began when I took my first photo as a child with my parents' Brownie Hawkeye. When I didn't chop off the top of my sister's head (nor her feet) I became the family photographer. Although passionate about it, photography was nothing more than a hobby as I pursued a 22 year career in the U S Air Force.

I've been an avid baseball fan most of my life and soon after we retired to Central Florida I began attending Daytona Cubs games -- always with camera in hand. The fan club used my pictures on their website and before the season was over the Daytona Cubs were using some of my photos on their website too. During the off season their general manager asked me if I would be the team photographer.

I was the Daytona Cubs team photographer for two years and 2009 is my fifth year as league photographer for the Florida State League and its twelve teams.
