After receiving an MBA from Harvard University and having a rewarding career in health care management, in 1999, Howard Hoople began renewing his childhood interest in butterflies. Howard is now an accomplished butterfly photographer and President of the Massachusetts Butterfly Club. He has had butterfly photos published in Merrimack Valley, Massachusetts Butterflies, American Butterflies, and Butterfly Gardener magazines. He also produces an annual butterfly calendar and note cards featuring his photos, and is very pleased to talk with anyone interested in learning about butterflies.
