He gained photo experience in college,and vocational technical school, in the mid 70's. Pictures of forest fires impressed his local teacher, and inspired him to continue his photography career. The pictures were run in the Atlantic City Press, and led to a staff photography job. He worked there from 1977-1978. His career led to the Sun newspaper,a twice a week publication, from 1979-1980. During the early 80's, he worked as a Stringer Photographer for UPI international wire services.
