After graduating from Cornell and studying photography at RIT, I moved to the Hudson Valley where I have been a commercial photographer for the past 30 years. Most recently, I have been working as a digital imaging consultant. I have been married for 35 years and my wife, Nora, is an art director. We have grown twin daughters and three grandchildren. Our daughter Katie is a college administrator at SUNY Buffalo. She and her husband, Derrick, and son, Karl, live in the old farmhouse where I grew up. Our other daughter Beth is a project manager for a math software firm and lives with her husband, Pete, son Thomas, and daughter Emma in Boston.

Nora and I love to travel, especially to London and the British Isles, and also spend summer vacations at our family camp in the Adirondacks. I also enjoy collecting rock music and rooting for my favorite basketball team, the NJ Nets.

2010 Update:   In 2006, our family grew by one more grandchild, when granddaughter Grace was born to our daughter Katie.

In 2009, I had spinal surgery in the spring and spent most of the rest of the year recuperating. I'm now working on regaining my upper-body strength -- going to the gym regularly, doing DIY projects around the house, and working full-time.

Otherwise, things are pretty much the same -- same house, same job, same wife, and I still root for the NJ Nets, in spite of the season they had last year!

2015 Update:   Looking back over the past 5 years, not too much has changed. I’m still working, still going to the gym, and doing DIY projects. Last year, I finished installing 2 rooms in our basement and this year I’ve just begun a total kitchen renovation.

Our grandkids are really growing up – all of them teenagers now except for the youngest Gracie. Our daughter Beth is now a Vice-President for EdX, the MIT MOOC (look it up!). And daughter Katie is Assistant Dean for Academic Services in The Graduate School at University of Buffalo.

One big change: my favorite basketball team moved from NJ to Brooklyn and are now the Brooklyn Nets!
