From Two Wheels to Ten to Four: My Journey Behind the Lens

The Road Was My First Muse

Long before I ever lived in an RV, I found my freedom on two wheels.

As an avid motorcycle rider and leader of a Long Island riding group that explored the Tri-State area I spent years chasing winding backroads, coastal highways, and scenic overlooks. Those rides weren’t just about the destination; they were about the moments in between. A sunrise over an empty road. A weathered roadside sign. A quiet pause where the engine cooled and the world revealed itself.

That’s where photography first entered my life.
Not as a profession, but as a passion.

My camera was always tucked into my gear, ready to capture moments of motion, light, and unexpected beauty exactly as I saw them.

A Transformative Turn

In 2016, after a 23-year career with New York State first as a mechanic and later as a fleet service supervisor, I felt the pull to trade routine for the open road.

My wife and I packed up our apartment, bought an RV, loaded the motorcycle, and set off on a six-and-a-half-year journey across the United States. What began as a hobby on the back of a bike evolved into a deeply personal way of documenting the world around me.

I went from the roar of an engine to the stillness of the wild.
From busy workdays to quiet mornings in national parks, state preserves, and remote campgrounds.

Along the way, I captured thousands of photographs raw landscapes, dramatic skies, and wildlife encounters, always with the goal of preserving the moment, not reinventing it.

An Amateur by Title, an Explorer by Nature

I’m not a professional photographer, and I don’t claim to be.

I’m an amateur and lifelong hobbyist who simply loves being outdoors and photographing nature and wildlife in their raw, honest form. My approach to post-processing is intentionally minimal. I don’t turn photographs into digital art or heavily alter the original composition. What you see in my work is what I experienced in that moment true to the scene, the light, and the environment.

The Adventure Evolves

Today, I’m based in Florida. The RV and motorcycle are gone, but the spirit of exploration remains.

I still travel just a bit differently. I’ll always miss the motorcycle, but I won’t lie: an air-conditioned car has its perks, especially in Florida. My preference is still camping whenever possible whether that’s a tent under the stars or a cozy cabin tucked into the woods. Hotels are a last resort; nature has always been my first choice.

My photography continues to be guided by curiosity and discovery, with a focus on:

• The Great Outdoors – From iconic national parks to quiet, lesser-known natural spaces
• Wildlife Encounters – Patiently waiting for authentic, unforced moments
• Roadside Discoveries – The unique places and details found just off the beaten path

Bring the Adventure Home

On this site, I offer my photography exclusively as wall art.

Each print represents a real place, a real moment, and a genuine connection to the natural world. My hope is that these images bring a sense of calm, adventure, and appreciation for nature into your home just as they did for me when I stood behind the lens.

Thank you for visiting and for supporting my journey.
The road may look different these days, but the adventure and the curiosity are still going strong.
