I’ve been fortunate to live in the Pacific Northwest nearly all my life. I started enjoying our spectacular outdoors as an avid hiker, backpacker, and eventually climber. I was introduced to photography during this time, and there was no looking back. My camera went everywhere with me, and soon dictated my destinations more so than any climbing objectives. I’ve enjoyed photographing throughout the western U.S. and Canada, and have been lucky enough to visit some of these places under very special conditions – sometimes under dramatic stormy skies or extraordinary morning or evening light.
