Wildlife always fascinated me while growing up on our family farm in the Philippines. After graduating with a B.S. in Animal Husbandry, I returned to manage our farm. After a few years, I had the opportunity to work at an animal feed laboratory to study the effects of the nutritional content of the feed on the health of small and large animals.

I immigrated to the U.S. in the early 1980's during a turbulent time in our country, and found the accounting field as sustainable. After 36 years in accounting, I transitioned to pursue photography with a focus on my original interest of wildlife and nature.
