I retired from the financial world several years ago. I enjoy the outdoors and like to hike and explore new areas with my camera in tow. I have been an avid photographer for 30 years and currently have approximately 14,000 digital pictures on my hard drive and many of them have been posted to photo hosting sites.

I moved from Columbus, OH to the Raleigh, North Carolina area in July of 2012 and will be traveling to the mountains in western NC to explore, hike and take tons of digital pictures.
