I was born on a farm in the religiously conservative area of Southeastern Pennsylvania. After high school I joined the Navy and spent a year on a patrol boat base in Vietnam which profoundly affected my outlook on life. Drawing from these experiences of my earlier years, it is easy for me to visualize a photographic image which uses children in peril to symbolically make a statement. I traveled throughout Mexico and the Southwestern United States where I was influenced by Mexican Indian religious art, retablos and masks.

In 1985 I graduated from the Ringling School of Art in Sarasota, Florida with a degree in graphic design. My family and I currently reside in Virginia where I work as an art director to supplement my photography habit.
