"Born in the Pacific Northwest, I grew up exploring dramatic 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 extensive commissioned projects across 78 countries for Fortune 500 corporations and international 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. Technical expertise informs all aspects of my artistic studio work and all fine art photography print editions meet museum-grade standards of archival quality with artistic integrity while being verified through my AP Quality Print Program™."
