Below is my history from 1975 to the present. In the 1980s and early 1990s, I was a national advertising automotive photographer. After that career mostly went the way of Blockbuster Video and magazines, I went back to school and taught college writing and photo courses. Even before, and especially since the COVID plague, education has become a low-paying, underappreciated profession. So, I have retired from teaching and will concentrate on writing, photography, and promoting my wife's (Rebecca Zeiss) Fine Art Photography for the rest of the century. After almost 20 years of grading thousands of papers, I am an eagle-eyed editor, I can write lifestyle, music, and magazine articles of almost any kind though not electronics, or video games. Better on culture, politics, sports, music, lifestyle--essays on life as an aging Boomer, that sort of thing, but I can write academese, serious or humorous, well get in touch with me, we can exchange a few emails or phone calls and see if sending some writing samples from there.I have published a short story, a few pieces of Literary Criticism, essays, etc. I gotta go, I'll polish this up later but thanks for reading if you got this far.MSU 1975-1980Central Michigan University Teaching Graduate Assistant 2002-2007 BA/MA in English Language and Literature (MSU/CMU)Adjunct Professor: CMU, Saginaw Michigan Tribal College 2007--2012Adjunct Professor Delta College, Northwood University 2015-2023Superior Photographic Imaging Business Owner 1982--Present I worked as First Camera Assistant at Northlight Studio in Madison Heights, Michigan, and Studio City, California from 1985-1994 as well as on location throughout the country, especially the American Southwest, Custom Color Print Department Manager Supervisor at Meteor Photo in Troy, MI 1994--1998.
