Well, the short story is I was born, raised, and currently reside in San Pedro, California, otherwise unglamorously known as the Port of Los Angeles. I work at the local Kaiser Hospital, making money so I can do the things that are REALLY important to me --- backpacking, hiking, bird-watching, photography, playing the classical guitar, computers, going on weeks-long road trips in my truck, and enjoying life in general. As an adjunct to land hiking, I'm presently (August 2009) in the last stages of building a stitch-and-glue mahogany kayak...in my living room. Once finished, I plan to take to the water with the same vagabonding spirit as I have on dry land. Thanks for taking a look at the world through my eyes!

And if you'd like to purchase an original, high-quality copy of any photo (up to 13 x 19), please e-mail me. The photos I've uploaded on my website have been downsized for Web viewing.

And I've just self-published a book based on my "Birds of Arizona's Chiricahua Mountains" photo gallery; it's "Sky Island: Landscapes and Birds of Arizona's Chiricahua Mountains" and available for sale here --
