Born and raised amid the tawny wheat fields and parched plateau vastness of the dry eastern steppe, I later moved to the "wet side" of the state to attend the University of Washington in Seattle, graduating in 1997. Bachelor of science degrees in both Wildlife Science and Conservation Biology, and graduate research at the University of Idaho, have enabled me to live and photograph in diverse settings across the American West, while working to preserve the natural heritage that lends so much to our quality of life here. I now make a home among the tall cedars and windy rains as the 4th generation to inhabit the family Farm. My nearest neighbors are the deer and coyotes, spiders and song birds, field mice and tree frogs, bald eagles bears and bobcats, ducks geese and swans, raccoons and river otters. My 1st camera was a graduation gift from my parents. and I've been an avid photographer of all things wild and free from that day forward. It's my hope that photos on this site will inspire those who appreciate the beauty of life to give back to a natural world that gives us so much.
