I graduated from college (long ago) with a degree in philosophy but the imperatives of earning a living led me to a long career in the computer world as a programmer and manager.

In an unexpected way this career path led me to the world of photography and art. Tired of spending all day in an office, I sought a hobby that would get me outdoors, away from computers. It was a choice between golf and photography, and it soon became clear that I was not a good golfer. A beginning darkroom class hooked me on photography and my long fascination with making prints began.

In 1998 I decided to leave the corporate world and left my job without a clear next step in mind. Fine art digital printing was just beginning to get the traction that would ultimately cause it to revolutionize the world of photography. Deciding to join that trajectory and take advantage of my passion for photography and my background in technology, I founded Color Folio, a fine art digital printing studio, which I run to this day. This business gives me an opportunity to continuously recharge my artistic battery through association with painters and photographers all over the country..

In 2000, my family and I moved to Sonoma County, California, in the middle of wine country. The natural beauty that surrounds me everyday finds its way into my artwork. My wife, Susan, is a well known watermedia painter who teaches workshops and is a published author.

I continue to look for ways to explore my own artistic wanderlust. Over the years I have spent much time painting with acrylics and pastels and making monoprints. But I keep coming back to photography, bringing what I've learned in these other endeavors with me and eagerly embracing the exciting and rapid developments that have continued to redefine what it means to be a photographer.
