<span class="text"><font color="#FFFFFF" class="text"> In 1976, during our country's bicentennial, I had the good fortune to be boatswain's mate aboard the Coast Guard's square-rigged sailing vessel, The Eagle. We were touring the east coast, and in every port were drawing huge crowds of people and media interested in this amazing tallship. <br /> <br /> Many of nation's best photographers sailed with us for days and that gave me the opportunity to ask these folks about getting into the business. Somewhere during that summer's cruise, I decided that I would enroll in photography school after leaving the Coast Guard in the fall. <br /> <br /> Years later, I have no regrets. Photography has given me a myriad of experiences that I never would have had and allowed me to travel to places I never would have gone. From heads of corporations to heads of universities; from great athletes to the Great Wall, I have met more people and seen more of the world than I would ever have dreamed. Despite all that, my perfect assignment remains simple: because I love meeting people and seeing what they do for a living, a series of portraits, telling the story of real people in their real environment, is still my favorite project. <br /> <br /> Today, I live in Needham, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston, with my wife, Reenie - my sweetheart since those Coast Guard days. We have two boys - both in college. (So, I hope you'll call early and often with assignments!)</font></span><br>
