He had a long career in cinematography finishing the last 21 years at Eastman Kodak editing and producing films. He loved flying his model planes, something he has done since his childhood. While at Kodak he had a chance to combine his passions, making the film I fly them, I break them, I fix them which you can watch on Youtube by clicking HERE. You can also see him flying his scratch built SE5a as well by clicking HERE.

He will truly be missed by all that knew him.
