Hard work often pays off after time, but laziness always pays off now.

Who I am and what I do permeates how I work and design...from my nature shots to my belief that a life well lived is a combination of work and pleasure.

I understand that recreation might not be part of the normal pseudo professional website, but recreating allows me to bring life to what I do.

Cycling and the cycling industry was a part of my life for many years, combining work and pleasure and helping others enjoy cycling--from fixing to selling to designing bicycles.

Boating--sailing, canoeing, windsurifing...from my earliest lessons in the family rowboat (head upwind) to exploring the environs of Hackensack and beyond.

Ultimate Frisbee--a unique sport of running, throwing with a laid back comrade all it's own. I've been active since college and am proud to be part of what could very well be the longest running game of pick-up ultimate in the world--a summer pick-up game has taken place since at the North end of Van Suan Park in Paramus since at least 1979.

Hiking and camping continue to take me back to the world that I love. And i also find them a unique way to share the world with friends and the occasional acquaintances.
