I am a Technical Support Analyst with the Federal Government and I live in Conception Bay South, Newfoundland. I've been doing wildlife photography for over a decade and have to admit it has brought back the child in me. As a young boy, I was always interested in learning about animals, watched wildlife documentaries on TV, and read National Geographic magazines. When I picked up my first digital camera, I was hooked. I soon began to realize the fulfillment I felt from being creative with the camera. I remember heading out to a local pond looking for subjects to photograph and came upon a Great Blue Heron (I lived in Ottawa, Ontario at the time). Not owning a quality telephoto lens presented a challenge as I wanted to get closer and capture the beauty of this bird, study its behavior and learn more about it. This was the beginning of my so-called addiction. After some life changes, I moved back home to Newfoundland in 2010. With this new found passion, I've set a goal as a wildlife photographer to capture the beauty of animals, especially birds, and in so doing, show people that not only does Newfoundland have a magnificent rugged landscape but that it is 'home' to an amazing array of different wildlife.
My work has gotten International recognition from various magazines and contest in which I was awarded second place in the portrait category for Bird Photographer of the Year 2022.
