Mr. Neilson's Career in Environmental Sciences
Mr. Neilson's career began with a foundation in biology and education. After earning a master's degree in education and biology from Southern Oregon University in 1972, he took a position as a high school biology teacher. His concern for public health and safety led him to investigate water contamination in his community - particularly issues related to typhoid fever in local swimming areas. This investigation sparked his decision to take action.
In 1981, Mr. Neilson founded an EPA-certified drinking water laboratory in his garage, which later became Neilson Research Corporation. Today, the corporation is a leader in environmental testing, specializing in microbiological contamination and analytical chemistry.
With more than 40 years of experience, Neilson Research Corporation remains dedicated to delivering superior analytical data, exceptional customer service and fast turnaround times.

True to his high standards, Mr. Neilson ensures that every photo session meets the same level of excellence he applies in all of his endeavors.
Mr. Neilson also has a military background as a Vietnam War veteran. Following his active duty, he continued his service in the U.S. Army Reserve's 313th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital, where he developed strong leadership skills and a deep commitment to public service. His military experience has greatly influenced his work ethic and dedication, qualities that he has carried into both his scientific and photography ventures.
