Jim grew up in the small town of Holliday in Northern Tioga County, Pennsylvania. His childhood provided a sound basis for developing skills of interacting with wildlife. He learned to be an ethical and humane hunter, fisherman and sportsman, while spending most of his spare time at camp in Potter County. Jim began wildlife photography in the early 1970’s with a Minolta SRT camera and lenses. He took the camera with him on hunts and found as much enjoyment photographing wildlife as he did the shooting part of the hunts. His primary subjects were initially elk and deer. Jim began to use digital SLR photography in 2006 and shifted to all types of nature photography including elk, deer, moose, Bald Eagles, birds and scenic landscapes. Jim and his wife, Joan, have pro Nikon equipment and spend their leisure time photographing nature and wildlife. They endeavor to do the photography in a manner to avoid stressing animals or birds.
Jim is a juried photographer for the Southeastern Wildlife Exposition in Charleston, South Carolina. He had two images in the top five of the 2009 Maine Moose Photography Contest, has been published in Precision Shooting magazine and Bangor Metro summer guide. He also has a cover photo on Maine Sportsman guide.
