Introduction	I have been diving for almost 50 years and started fishing when I could barely walk. I was a former competitive spearfisherman for over 15 years and for the last 18 years I have been shooting fish exclusively with a camera. I am extremely fortunate to have been able to turn my passion into my occupation. My footage can be seen in the International Game Fishing Association Museum, as well as aquariums and university expos around the country. Underwater scenes of sailfish, striped bass, fluke, bluefish, roosterfish and other game fish have been televised on such programs as: Days of a Sportsman, Saltwater Sportsman, Walker’s Cay Chronicles, Out There, Fishing New England and a number of documentaries and PBS productions. My photographs and articles have appeared in: Field & Stream, Saltwater Sportsman, Gray’s Sporting Journal, On The Water, and The Fisherman. Seize the day. Go fishing!
