I am Professor of Biology with a Ph.D. in Botany who has been taking pictures since I was 14 and borrowed my dad's 35 mm camera. I am married to one of the most beautiful and loving woman in the world and we currently have an empty nest, minus the syndrome. Our daugher has already blessed us with four grandkids and our son hopes to add to that soon. I live in the beautiful Napa Valley in Northern California on the top of Howell Mountain where I teach Biology in a small, private, 4-year liberal arts college.
