"Born in the Pacific Northwest, I grew up exploring old growth forests, beautiful lakes and rivers and spectacular mountain trails. My first camera was a Polariod Swinger that I won in a raffle at age 9. The journey from curious teenager to international photographer has been fueled by outdoor adventure, commercial assignments and a passion for nature. I have photographed extensive commissioned projects across 78 countries for Fortune 500 corporations and global advertising clients. With four decades of technical expertise and artistic vision, my fine art photography meets museum-grade standards of archival quality and artistic integrity for through my AP Print Integrity Program™."
