It was my dream to live in Colorado for as long as I’ve known what mountains are. I grew up in New Jersey, Germany and Missouri. I spent my childhood wandering through wild places in search of strange creatures, and later going on epic journeys through great western expanses. I once realized that I was seeing so many amazing things in nature that I had to record it all for others to see, so when I was a teenager I taught myself photography. It all started with a fully manual, vintage Canon that my dad gave me. In the years to come, many factors influenced my photography. I wanted to know as much about nature as possible, so I majored in Wildlife Biology at the University of Missouri, wanted to travel so I did a stint in the Army, and best of all, moved to Colorado in 2003. I spend a great deal of time living out of my backpack, and out of my truck in search of what's over the next horizon. Through this website I hope to become ever more connected with nature, and to continue pushing my own personal envelope to bring you good photography.

I’ve recently branched out into cinematography, and I’m producing an independent nature documentary. The film, which is in post production, will be finished this spring, and features the amphibians of Germany, notable animals of Colorado's extreme ecosystems, and the ecology of Washington's old-growth forests.
