personal bio

I was born in Idaho, but didn't stay long before seeing 23 countries in four continents prior to high school and two more continents since. Large, historical cities have a place in my heart with their amazing architecture and history, but nothing captures my heart like nature - the wilderness. There's such peace, yet at the same place and a different time there's such drama and power - both extremely beautiful. Currently based in Divide, Colorado, I love to wander through the wilderness and National Parks of this state and those of the Western United States capturing nature the way I see it - whether the grand scene or the intimate portraits.

I use nothing but digital technology to capture and develop my work as the lightweight equipment allow me to adapt quickly to the scene and create the art I wish to share. My field arsenal includes a Canon 5DII, a few lenses and filters, and a carbon fiber tripod; I'm primarily using Adobe Lightroom in the darkroom.
