I'm a graphic designer and illustrator who grew up in suburban New York. I graduated from the Rochester Institute of Technology with a concentration in graphic design and printing. I am an active member and trustee of the Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum (www.rgvrrm.org) as well as an advisor to the RIT Model Railroad Club (www.ritmrc.org). A life-long railroad enthusiast, I have co-authored two books on railroad history and published numerous articles related to the hobby of model railroading. I started shooting slides in 2000 using a Pentax K-1000, and have since graduated to a Canon EOS... Still considering the jump to digital. I currently work for a magazine publisher based in Newton, New Jersey... The name of which escapes me at the moment... ;-)
