I supported my passion for photography by  working in four and five star establishments across America.

I mastered the resturant world's high stress atmosphere and it earned me the income to travel and learn the nuances of cameras and computers.

My free time was spent exploring the wild vistas of Alaska, Colorado and the American west.

Being alone with long periods of silence cultivated my creative vision.

“To follow your bliss” (as Joseph Campbell once stated) is not easy. The wilderness allowed me to discover my inner convictions while affirming my life had purpose and meaning.

Photography and exploration is a tonic for my soul. These wild places are inspirational for me.

I could ask for no greater gift than to experience Earth's grandeur and magnificence.
