Gil's father was an excellent amateur photographer and Gil spent nearly six years in his father's darkroom before he ever even received his first camera. Gil actually began his working career creating custom furniture for hotels and motels. Then he and his wife stopped by the Sonoran Desert Museum one day to take some photos. He fell in love and decided to become a professional photographer. He is currently working on a series of photographs and a story documenting Range Creek Ranch - the ranch was donated by its owner to the government in the hopes of preserving an entire canyon full of Fremont Native American sites. He loves taking photos that help preserve the history of the American West and is extremely knowledgeable about the Native American sites in Arizona, as well as about the Sonoran Desert.
