I was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1953 and graduated from the State University of New York at Stony Brook in 1974 with a degree in Music and Philosophy. After working in New York City as a picture framer and pianist, I relocated to Boston, Massachusetts, where I attended Boston University School of Law, graduating in 1982. Now retired from the practice of law, I worked in the Boston area for 35 years as a criminal defense lawyer, primarily representing indigent clients.

            I began to seriously study photography in 2007 when I attended my first workshop, led by David Alan Harvey. Since then, I have participated in numerous workshops with photographers working in the broad documentary tradition, including Jeff Jacobson, Stella Johnson, Constantine Manos, and Alex and Rebecca Webb.

            My work has been exhibited at the Danforth Museum, the Falmouth Art Center, the Griffin Museum of Photography, the Minneapolis Photo Center, the Photographic Resource Center of Boston, and the Print Center of Philadelphia, among other venues. 

             In 2019 I was awarded a finalist grant in photography from the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
