Photography has been my main creative outlet for the last 23 years. It has been an essential source of therapy, expression, and joy in my life.

I currently reside in Sebastopol, California. I have traveled to locations in the United States and around the world to see and photograph nature, such as Indonesia, the Philippines, Iceland, Norway, Brazil, and Chile.

In my years as a global citizen, I have explored some phenomenal natural wonders. Once I became enamoured of photography, I began to plan travel to destinations based on the photographic experiences they would provide. My wanderlust mostly centers around underwater, desert, wildlife, and big-sky locales.

I’ve always savored challenges. I developed my knowledge and skills for capturing nature from all angles, from the heavens to beneath the waves. Through the worlds of astrophotography, wildlife, landscape, and underwater photography, I have been able to hone my lighting and exposure techniques.

The art of photography has deepened my appreciation of nature’s diverse beauty, helped me slow down and connect with its pace, and provided a beautiful way to share my experiences visually.

I hope my photography inspires you to seek new experiences, challenges, and adventures.
