	Some of the ballroom dances I do as well as teach are: Fox Trot Waltz Rumba Cha-Cha East coast swing West coast swing Tango Photography Although I've been interested in photography for many years, it wasn't until 1990 that I got into photography in a big way when my sister asked me to photograph her wedding and I used that as the excuse I needed to buy a new camera (Nikon 8008). I took a lot of pictures with that camera. Then in 2003 I purchase my first digital camera (Nikon D100) and have not used film since. So I've taken a LOT of pictures since 1990.

Growing up in New Mexico I learned to ski at Sandia Peak which is just outside of Albuquerque. I cut my teeth at Taos which is were I learned to ski the double black diamonds  . At age 15 I joined the National Ski Patrol at Sandia Peak and was on the patrol for 15 years (until I moved to Colorado Springs). While skiing at Arapaho Basin in 1991 I fell and blew my ACL out in my left knee. That has somewhat limited my skiing since then to the blue runs  .

	Eventually I hope to have some pictures here (though that may be a long time since my slide scanner has stopped working so I've no way to digitize my photos). Reading I really enjoy reading. I prefer mysteries, though I read a lot of other types of books too. Some of my favorite authors and books are shown below.

It was a street bike and in 1989 I participated in the "Tour de Taos" which was a bike ride to raise money for MS. The ride was from Albuquerque, NM to Taos, NM (2 days). When I moved to Colorado Springs I purchased a mountain bike. There are many trails on which to ride, though I don't ride nearly enough. Sailing I started sailing 39 years ago in 1985 when I went on a bare boat trip in the Florida Keys. Since then I've sailed 3 times in the British Virgin Islands and once in the Grenadines. Sadly, I've not been sailing in about 15 years (scuba diving took sailings place).

  • Photography

    Although I've been interested in photography for many years, I wasn't until 1990 that I got into photography in a big way. In 1990 my sister asked me to shoot her wedding. I used that as the excuse I needed to buy a new camera (Nikon 8008). Since then I've taken a LOT of pictures. Some of my specialties are:

Lightning	Fireworks	Sunsets	Underwater
Beach	Aspen Trees	Balloons	Weddings
Auroras (Northern Lights)2001/03/30 2001/11/05

I've also taken a LOT of pictures during various vacations and trips:

	snow skiing I started skiing at age 5. Growing up in New Mexico I learned to ski at Sandia Peak which is just outside of Albuquerque. I cut my teeth at Taos which is were I learned to ski the double black diamonds . At age 15 I joined the National Ski Patrol at Sandia Peak and was on the patrol for 15 years (until I moved to Colorado Springs). While skiing at Arapaho Basin in 1991 I fell and blew my ACL in my left knee. That has somewhat limited my skiing since then to the blue runs . But after 33 years of skiing I was ready for something that as a little easier on my knees. scuba diving I started scuba diving back in 1989 when there was a family reunion in Bonaire. Since then I've been diving 3 times in the Bahamas, the most recent being June 1999. Eventually I hope to have some pictures here. Reading I really enjoy reading. I prefer mysteries though read a lot of different types of books. Some of my favorite authors and books are shown below.   Bible God Tom Clancy The Hunt for the Red October Lilian Jackson Braun The 'cat' books Diane Mott Davidson The 'cook' books Emily Brightwell Mrs. Jeffries books Dorothy Gilman Mrs. Pollifax books Frank Peretti This Present Darkness Tim LaHaye/Jerry Jenkins The Left Behind series Dale Brown Flight of the Old Dog Robert Ludlum Sue Grafton The alphabet books Dick Francis The 'horse' books bike riding I bought my first bike about 15 years ago. It was a street bike and in 1989 I participated in the "Tour de Taos" which was a bike ride to raise money for MS. The ride was from Albuquerque, NM to Taos, NM (2 days). When I moved to Colorado Springs I purchased a mountain bike. There are many trails on which to ride. Sailing
