Given my keen interest in science, nature and art, photography was a logical next step. After many years and a number of preparatory learning experiences, I realized photography was what I enjoyed and wanted to do as a career.

I spent many years of my life hiking, camping, and exploring the outdoors. Nature has always held my fascination, whether it was studying rocks in the back yard or capturing wonderful scenes while backpacking in the White Mountains. My curiosity of the natural world led me to a bachelors degree in Geology, internships and jobs teaching outdoor education as well as courses in animal tracking and wilderness survival. Each one of these experiences has helped shape my understanding of the natural world and develop a deep curiosity and appreciation that is evident in my photography.

Our natural world and peoples' interaction with the natural world are a focal point for me. One of my goals is to showcase images of the natural world that are easily accessible to people. Many of my photographs embody a refreshingly different look at things we see everyday. Through my photography, I hope people will continue to develop a deep appreciation for the beauty of the natural world in which we live.
