Give a brief biography:
My career as a commercial/industrial photographer has allowed Sue and me to travel quite a bit and we've really taken advantage of overseas projects. We've done photography in 37 countries on 5 continents and have enjoyed the opportunities to experiences such different cultures. My last major project was for Amway and Marriott, decorating all the guest rooms in the JW Marriott with my photography of Grand Rapids' Sister Cities in Japan, Ghana, Italy, Poland and Mexico. We spent a year and a half photographing, printing and framing nearly 1,500 prints for the hotel rooms and public areas. Shortly thereafter, I retired from contract work and started to immerse myself into genealogy research, which has been a real eye-opener.
