My parents instilled a deep appreciation for the outdoors. Days were spent in fields and trips were planned around nature. I was captivated by the rugged beauty of mountains and wildlife. At an early age I knew I wanted to be a wildlife photographer. With some formal photography classes in school I can easily say getting out and taking photos was the best education for me. I chose Outdoor Recreation Management as my degree because it was the closest thing to getting me outside.

My favorite muses are grizzly bears. Spending thousands of hours researching, tracking and watching grizzlies solidified my passion in wanting to protect them. My goal is to share my passion without monetizing on it by donating any profits from printing to wildlife conservation efforts.
