Adventures in nature have framed my life since childhood. Growing up in northern California, my days were dedicated to exploring the local Redwood forests. Family vacations were spent backpacking, sailing, or canoeing wilderness areas of the northwest United States. These experiences forged an unbreakable bond between me and the natural world. Today, I'm a nature photographer living in Flagstaff, Arizona. I specialize in photography of the birds, wildlife, and landscapes of the Southwest US with a particular affinity for the Coconino National Forest corridor along Lake Mary Road.

Artist Statement

Every photo tells a story. My passion is to witness wildlife and birds in their natural settings and to share these special moments with you through photography. It is my sincere hope that, in these photos, you will find a kindred spirit, a fellow explorer and celebrant of life.
