I began taking photographs while working for the local newspaper while in high school. During those times we worked with Minolta 101 cameras. This was a time when smaller SLR cameras began to come out such as the Fuji and Olympus, which were much smaller an applicable to take in the mountains where we needed lighter weight.

On my own I began using smaller land cameras due to the light weight, but in 1980 bought my first Nikon fm, which allowed me to begin using more lens.

During the mid eighties, when I began publishing articles with photographs. I also began working for a stock agency and took courses on photography at Emily Carr College of Art and Design in Vancouver, BC.

I have also done gallery shows throughout the West.
