 I think a line from a Jimmy Buffet song best sums up my life:

"Yes I am a pirate,
200 years too late;
The cannon don't thunder,
There's nothing to plunder;
I'm an over 40 victim of fate."

I spent 25 years in Dallas, working as a commercial photographer. I got into computers as a way to bypass the airbrush stage in photography and found a real affinity for the electronic medium. Now, I live in Ruidoso, New Mexico with my wife Marilyn.  I live in the cool mountains and still work at a variety of things. I work for RuidosoWeb Corp. and still do a little commercial photography.  Life here is a little slower than the big city and a lot less stressful.

I still love to travel and spend as much time as possible touring on Moto Guzzi motorcycles. The mountains of New Mexico are a great place to start. Ruidoso is home to the Golden Aspen Motorcycle Rally every year in September when about 50,000 fellow enthusiasts show up for a week. If you ride, this is the place to be in September.

When I'm not working on web pages in Ruidoso, I travel around the world and write about it.  You can read some of my stories in TravelLady Magazine or view some of my photographs here.
