Roy makes his home set on ten acres in mountainous north county San Diego, California with his wife Robin and three Labrador Retrievers (Beau, Summer and Tundra). Roy enjoys essentially everything active and out in nature, including hiking with the dogs, surfing, and mountain biking. His favorite pastime when not traveling for photography is designing and cultivating his extensive garden, inspired by South African flora, including a wide variety of aloes and other exotic plants.
