Working as a guide for an adventure youth camp in the High Sierra gave me a profound appreciation for wilderness, and the life changing moments that are created by simply spending  time in a world mostly unchanged by the human hand. Like so many others, I found myself moved and challenged in ways that were hard to describe, and from these moments, a life-long passion for wild areas--and the preservation of of those areas--was born. This love of wilderness has remained a central part of who I am as a person for almost three decades. In that time, I have found that photography has provided a means to share some of what I experience with others.

Perhaps unconventionally, I choose to share an image only if it communicates the deepest emotions of the moment. Often I return many times to a single location in order to capture “the” image, at the sacrifice of visiting many places briefly. And so, visitors won’t find my gallery packed full of thousands of images from hundreds of locations. Instead, they will find fewer images, each unique in it’s own beauty, capturing the essence of the place it was taken at the very finest moment.

Thank you for taking the time to view my gallery. I hope that what you see will move you as deeply as it has me, and that you are truly inspired by the undeniable beauty of wilderness.
