I've been making photos for some 45+ years, and transitioned into digital several years ago.  I'm a California native, spent 10 years in northern Virginia, and have settled in the Austin, Texas area as of 2006.  I travel about the world for work, and am particularly enjoying documenting and photographing small town life in this hellscape.

I've spent more than 40 years in the public safety arena; I'm a former police officer, fire manager & incident commander, emergency medical technician, dispatcher, communications center director, and emergency manager. I'm currently working in the private sector leading the global emergency services market for one of the world’s most successful and valuable companies.

Even though it is a rare day when I do not make a photograph (or many), I've never had the discipline to do a structured "photo a day;"  I'm hoping Blipfoto will provide that impetus for me.  This is a wonderful community of talented folks, and I'm really enjoying my time here.  Blipfoto is addictive!
