Joined the U.S. Coast Guard in 1983, had a desire to be a boat jockey:. Got transferred to federal law enforcement and broke my back and neck in 1985, left the Coast Guard in 1986. What was I thinking?
Went back to college and pursued a desire of working in the Investment Banking sector. Transferred to a National Management Consulting firm and worked as a Business Analyst for several years. Changed over to the Business Intelligence community as the Regional Professional Services Director for the state of New Jersey and lower Manhattan. What were they thinking?
After the towers came down in 2001, I decided to go ahead and plan out my midlife crisis. I decided to pursue photography. Currently I spend 6 months a year in Europe and Eastern Europe shooting for several publishers and clients. In the past year I had assignments in Paris, Luxemburg, Brussels and Vilnius. Suppose to do a shoot in Madrid this summer and a catalog shoot in Italy or Norway. I like what I was thinking. Might have to do a shoot on a Russian Ice Breaker or location shoot in the Antarctic sometime this year as well. What was I thinking!
Some of the best times of my life and many fond memories to reflect on. I don't understand why all of you were such a bad influence on my young developing mind though :).
