PERSONAL
I am 51, single, and originally from Elmhurst, Queens, NY and have been living in South Florida (between Miami and Fort Lauderdale) since 1975.

Photography Credits

1. Microsoft used a Monarch butterfly image they found on my website, on their television commercial for the Internet Explorer.

2. Won an honorable mention for a Green and Red Macaw in the animals category in Popular Photography's Annual Contest, and can be seen in the January 1995 issue.

3. Had 43 of my pictures on display in Hollywood, Florida City Hall from November 1996 to February 1997.

4. Two images from my Grand Circle trip (Arizona + Utah) were published in Arriving Magazine (a magazine specializing in RV travel).

5. A Miami skyline image was published in a research paper from Columbia University called 21stC. The image was used for an article on re-emerging diseases such as Malaria. They superimposed a giant mosquito flying over the city.  This same image was used on an invitation to an event by Fleet Bank.

6. I recently received a perfect score of 15 for an image of Capitol Reef National Park from an international camera club competition of the Photographic Society of America (PSA).

7. Two of my images were used for book covers

8. I belong to 2 local camera clubs, and routinely judge competitions, and give slide shows and workshops at other clubs. Contact me if you're interested in booking me for a slide show or workshop.

9. Starting to sell prints of my photography at local Florida art shows. Will be posting a schedule of the shows I'll be attending soon!

I'm also a self-taught computer programmer. I own MED TECH SOFTWARE and have 7 blood banks in Florida using an expert system I developed called TRANSPORT, to generate transfusion and immunohematology consultation reports. I was an exhibitor at the 1993 American Association of Blood Banks (AABB) annual meeting in Miami Beach.  I also developed this website myself.
