Personal File: Work
I have my fingers in a lot of pies and was once even bestowed the official job title of Swiss Army Knife. Here is what I actually do for a living:
Teaching & Lecturing

Visual Arts
Many of you already know me as a Freelance Photographer. But I am not limited to that and, in fact, my income from visual arts has shifted from pure photography to graphic design (which may or may not incorporate my photography). I have been asked "why the shift?" [read more]
I have done a lot of different jobs. All have made a valuable contribution to what I am today. I have done restaurant management consulting; product development (hardware & software) and software design/usability/training.
I've also been an electronic instrument repairman/calibration technician, telecommunications repairmen and computer hardware repairman.
This future is a moving target. I have a few projects on the back burner. I have thought about getting back into the restaurant/hospitality business. I have also considered getting back to product development. Ultimately, I love to teach so that will be a part of whatever I do.
