My love of photography grew from early interest as a kid, and eventually blossomed into a successful magazine career, where I wrote, designed and edited for more than a dozen successful magazines, including BC Musician, Gonzo – Music, Film and Culture; BC Sport Fishing Guide, Canadian 4×4 Magazine, and numerous others, most of them under the SunCruiser publications banner, in Kelowna, British Columbia.

For a time, I was the media writing and professional development instructor at Centre for Arts and Technology, in Kelowna, and have been an independent feature and investigative writer for numerous national and international magazines and newspapers. These include: Wild Life Magazine. Vancouver Sun, Okanagan Life Magazine, B.C. Historical Society Journal, and both the B.C. and Canadian Wildlife Federation publications. By virtue of these endeavors, I learned the art and trade, and the fine points of photojournalism, where every image must be thought provoking, to varying degrees, and must tell a compelling story.

I am presently photographer and the British Columbia correspondent for Saving Earth Magazine, peopled by a team of noted international journalists, photographers, scientists and business professionals from many disciplines.
My literary works include: A Garden of Thieves, A Story of Colonial British Columbia, and Blessed Be The Bones (Garden of Thieves, Book II), both to excellent reviews and both under the Village Lane Press imprint. I’ve written two children’s books, The Crow Who Didn’t Like To Get Wet, and Finnaes Swatbottom’s Forest of Forgotten Birds, and am presently working on a book of creative non-fiction, titled, A Cure For Oblivion.
