"Born in the Pacific Northwest, I grew up exploring dramatic Pacific Ocean coastlines with old growth forests and spectacular mountain peaks surrounded by beautiful lakes and rivers. My first camera was a small Polariod that I won in a home town raffle at age 9 and that set me on a destined lifelong course with photograghy. The journey from curious teenager to international photographer has been fueled by a quest for outdoor adventure, large scale commercial assignments and a passion for the photographic medium. Since 1985 I have photographed or supported extensive commissioned projects across 78 countries  for multinational corporations and global advertising clients. With over four decades of commissioned project management and a lifetime of outdoor adventures my current work bridges adventurous backcountry exploration with disciplined fine art vision. Beyond all the assignments I have created an expansive body of fine art photography and digital artworks that reflect a deeper inquiry into the concepts of perception with visual form and the interconnected elements within nature’s vast ecosystems. Technical expertise and natures intrinsic beauty inform all aspects of my artistic work.
