After living throughout the Great Lakes region for many years, Benjamin Shelak developed a lasting fascination with these great expanses of water. Though he left the Great Lakes for the mid-Atlantic region, his love for their beauty has persevered. He lives in Maryland and works as a Survey Statistician with the U.S. Census Bureau.
