Welcome To The Great Outdoors!

Fishing Swallow Falls, MD
A Little About Me:
Environmental Engineer and graduate of the University of Maryland system.
My hobbies are fishing, biking, hiking, traveling & swimming.
My goal is to hike, bike or fish as many states as possible!
My passion is photography - both 35mm (color and black/white and digital).
I enjoy taking pictures of landscapes, wildlife, travel locations and people, including portraits to city street photography.

I relate with "hands on experience" to our environment, dealing with major issues almost daily, desire to discuss problems related to the outdoors & fisheries and report on environmental success stories. I believe we need to find a balance, or a method, that environmental justice and societies wishes can exist together. My goal is to look for and assist with successful environmental technologies that can co-exist in today's society.

As I always carry a camera or two, when not carrying my fishing gear, I experience first hand river and stream pollution, research stories and technology through nature, believe in our environment, report on current issues & political pork, all of which affect our and our children's future.
