I'm a father, journalist, photographer, newspaper Internet consultant and editor of The High Springs Herald. The Herald, a 54-year-old community weekly newspaper, was my home from 1990 to 1995, when it was named the best weekly in Florida and one of the best in the country. I rejoined The Herald in 2003 as its editor, and the paper is one against ranked #1 in Florida. Prior to accepting a position with The Herald, I was the general manager of the Internet department at the St. Petersburg Times, the largest newspaper in Florida. Prior to that, I had the good fortune of being the Internet editor of the then nation's #1-ranked newspaper Website at the Sun Herald newspapers in Southwest Florida.

Oh, I almost forgot to mention that I'm also the oldest of 9 kids. Yes, 9 kids. I can clean baby poop with amazing speed. 

I grew up with Spider-Man comic books, began writing for newspapers in 8th grade of middle school and have worked for a newspaper every day of my life since then. At age 40, my dream is to be the first journalist in space. 

Why this site, you ask? Pure vanity. In fact, if you'll hit your reload a button a few times to run up my counter, I'd very much appreciate it. 

(True story: When I told a psychologist friend of mine about this site, she said, "How long have you been in love with yourself?)

Screensavers -- I finally took the hundreds of photos I have taken over the years and grouped them by themes, then placed them into screensavers you can download to your computer.

3-D Photography -- Yes, I actually am in possession of my very own 3-D camera. And I've taken photos across the U.S. and across the world with it. Check them out. If you'd like me to come to your home or office to take 3-D photos, go HERE.

360-Degree 'Moving' Virtual Reality -- I bought my own IPIX camera and took shots where you can see in every direction, including up, down and behind you. It's incredible. Heck, you can even "stand" on the Eiffel Tower in Paris and look around. If you'd like me to come to your home or office to take 360-degree photos, go HERE.

Here are columns that I write for this Internet site, with the newest ones listed first:

• Snakes & Alligators -- My Dad was upside down under a bridge with a snake in one hand and an alligator beneath him. Need I say more?
