where he worked for over 10 years designing highways, subdivisions
and a portion of the huge $14 billion "Big Dig" project in
Boston.
He is married and has lived on Cape Cod since 1973. He is
an avid ocean kayaker who designs and builds his own wooden
kayaks. Along with his wife he has had a TV show on woodstrip
kayak construction and also markets a how-to video out on
that subject.
His favorite kayaking spot is the lakes and Baltic ocean around
eastern Sweden. He comes from a long line of photographers
and always has a camera with him when he travels.
The picture is of him with the skeleton of a Fin whale he
found while kayaking the small
islands off of Nantucket MA.
