I am an avid hiker, explorer and photographer living in Florida for the past 20 years. I enjoy photographing all wildlife and that of the natural world. Currently, I work a 9-5 as a profiler and graphics coordinator for a major online website, but at every opportunity, can be found somewhere traipsing about in the Everglades or in some wooded part of Florida and beyond, following game trails, and exploring new areas where man has least traveled.
