Stuart was born and raised in the hills of Western Massachusetts. At a young age, he experimented with photography by developing and printing his images in a basement darkroom.

With the arrival of digital photography, Stuart quickly embraced the new technology. He now shoots stock photographs and sells exclusively on istockphoto.com.

Digital imaging is in Stuart's genes. He brings his expertise on computers & cameras & Adobe Photoshop to Summersite: Lake Como for the third summer.

Stuart is a junior at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island studying environmental law and policy--and sailing whenever he can find a boat.
