ABOUT ME I have been an avid photographer for the past 25-years. In the past 7-years, I have taken over 100,000 pictures with my digital cameras. I primarily take still photos consisting of scenery, nature and wildlife. I have filmed approximately a dozen weddings, several birthday parties and countless community events including the swearing in ceremonies of Town officials, the Chief of Police and the Fire Chief. I've had several of my photos published in local Annual Town Reports, on municipal websites, in local newspapers and on area business and restaurant websites. INTERNET MILESTONE: I set up my online photo storage site in July of 2001 and purchased my domain name shortly after that. As of January 18, 2011, I've had 800,701 viewers of my pictures. I rank #2 of 137,735 members in the web storage site for views.
FRIENDS I have been blessed with some of the best, closest and caring friends that anyone could ever ask for. I have friends that would give the shirt off their back for me, friends that have been with me through the best and worst parts of my life. Friends that went down that road with me and for me, without criticizing or judging me through any of it. Click here to see my friends
I am also honored to say that I have 4 God-children, two girls and two boys. I can't think of too many more important things that someone can ask you to do for them than to be a God-parent for their children. I am humbled to be put in that position.
MY CAREER My full-time job is working for the Town of Hingham, MA running a public utility. I have worked for the Town since 1987 and was promoted to my current position of Supervisor in 1991. I have run the day-to-day operations of the department since then, reporting directly to three elected officials. In 2005, I was presented with the Employee Recognition Award by the Chairman of the Board of Selectmen given out annually to one town employee.
FISHING I have been a freshwater fisherman for several years, spending most of my time either in my kayak, canoe or float tube. I primarily fish for largemouth bass throughout Massachusetts. Plymouth is my favorite fishing destination because it has the most ponds of any town within 50-miles of where I live. Plymouth has 365 ponds, 1 for every day of the year :-)
I am the President of the Massachusetts Striped Bass Association, the largest and oldest saltwater fishing club open to the public in New England. I take part in several fishing tournaments from Maine to Rhode Island proudly representing the MSBA.
I am one of about 130 Master Instructors with the Angler Education Program run by the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries & Wildlife, we help teach kids how to fish and use proper conservation tactics and teach them about fishing safety and ethics.
SNOWMOBILING I have been into snowmobiling for the past 7 years. I spend a lot of time in Wompatuck State Park, a 4000-acre park located within snowmobiling distance from my house. We do a lot of riding in Erving State Forest in Orange, MA and Mount Greylock in Adams, MA. Mt. Greylock is the highest peak in Massachusetts. Each year, several friends go up to Maine and New Hampshire for long weekends and spend countless hours trail riding, jumping and racing across lakes. Stark, NH and Rangeley Lake in Maine are the most common places we go.
AFFILIATIONS MASSACHUSETTS STRIPED BASS ASSOCIATION MSBA is the oldest and largest saltwater fishing club open to the public in New England. With over 400 members, we are very active in the community holding charity events, performing herring run clean-ups, toy drives for Children's Hospital and teaching sound conservation practices. Aside from being the President, I'm also the photographer and webmaster for the MSBA. I am also the Monthly Entertainment Chairman and am on the Annual Sportfishing EXPO Committee. CLICK HERE to learn more about the MSBA.
MASSACHUSETTS BEACH BUGGY ASSOCIATION I am a member and the webmaster for the MBBA, a group concerned with beach conservation and access. It is run by an Executive Board (7) and a Board of Directors (13). There are Courtesy Patrols and Beach Representatives for the 9 area beaches that allow motor vehicle access. There are also 17 different committees that consist of 49 member positions to perform the specific tasks of each committee. CLICK HERE to learn more about the MBBA.
INTERNATIONAL FREELANCE PHOTOGRAPHERS ORG. I have been a member of the IFPO since July 7, 1997. With over 77,800 members in 143 countries worldwide, IFPO is an organization dedicated to the advancement of the photographic arts and sciences. On January 2, 2008, I was selected to have my name inducted into the IFPO Freelance Photography Hall of Fame.
