Here's a little background behind my photos and writing:

From 1984 until 1993, I served as editor and photographer for Tide, a national award-winning conservation magazine. Following my tenure with Tide, I ran a fishing lodge and guided coastal inshore and offshore trips for a few years in Port O’Connor, a small fishing community on the middle Texas coast.

In 1996, we moved to Gainesville, Florida, where I worked as research assistant on several fisheries projects, as well as photographer at the University of Florida. For a number of years I guided out of Steinhatchee on the Gulf side of Florida and Fernandina (on the Atlantic side), while continuing my outdoor photography. In 2003, I signed on with Florida Sportsman magazine as assistant editor, photographer, and book editor. See below for a sampling of some of my FS book projects and out-of-country travel articles. After launching this website in 2007, I now spend much of my time touring southern latitudes and points beyond in search of new photos, adventures and writing material.

Note: My book titles include The Kingfish Bible (sold out), The Snapper Bible (sold out), The Cobia Bible, Texas Saltwater Fish, and Florida Sportsman's SB Snapper-Grouper book. I also served as editor and primary photographer for Florida Sportsman's Best (SB) book series, including their titles on Sailfish, Inshore Fishing, Angler's Cookbook and Pelagic Fish.

Here are some of my recent efforts while working at Florida Sportsman magazine. I shot the magazine covers on various locations. I was also editor/sometimes writer/mostly photographer for these FS series books, written by various authors around Florida. Thanks should go to Drew Wickstrom, art director, for the long days and nights making these books happen, one page at a time.
