Born and raised in New York City, John attended the High School of Music & Art. After college John became a film and video content producer, eventually starting his own company and moving it to Los Angeles where it prospered for two decades."I will always appreciate the film business and some wonderful mentors for giving me the technical and creative foundation which has served me so well."

Photography which was once a hobby, turned into a passion throughout the years and helped shape the path John would take going forward. Settling in Napa County in Northern California, he has been totally dedicated to the photographic arts, particularly nature and wildlife photography.

John is currently working on his first book, "Silently Into The Wild," and has shot for numerous organizations and publications. His prints are for sale through this web site, and he conducts private and group workshops, photo tours and teaches photography.
