He had a strong affinity for science and natural history, but art was also tempting. He eventually gave in to art. Hagelberg began his career as a designer with agency and freelance work after graduating from Northern Arizona University, but the desire to combine science and art soon took him into educational publications. Today he illustrates for magazine and book publishers, as well as develops fine art.<br /><br />Exley, a member of the National Federation of Press Women and National Speakers Association, won 50-plus awards for editing and writing.
