After retiring from the United States Navy, I had a second career as an accountant. Now, I am a seasonal tax preparer. My main hobby is digital photography, and I love to travel around the southeastern United States with my cameras. Most of my photography consists of nature, travel, landscape, historical, and architectural subjects. My wife, Helen, and I grew up in Quincy, Massachusetts. We moved to the Jacksonville Beach, Florida, area in 1970 when the Navy stationed me at Mayport. We have three daughters, six grandchildren, several great-grandchildren, and two Sheltand Sheepdogs.
