I was born and raised in western Colorado and have never found any reason to leave. I married my wife when I was 18 (another western slope native) and we now have four beautiful daughters.
When I was 18 I graduated from the New York Institute of Photography (having enrolled when I was 16). This helped start me on my journey of photography. Now many years later my passion for this art has continued to increase.
I enjoy capturing the beautiful moments in this world. Photography allows me to create works that I can share with others. That which I see and feel.
It may be an entire valley below me or the way the shadows fall on the snow. It may be the way the light ripples across the water or the perfection of a little detail. Whatever it is, it is that which I connect to, that I become a part of. This I try to capture the essence of, that feeling, that moment.
Knowing that I will always be a student in this amazing craft, I continually try to learn how to capture and present this beautiful world at its best. I want to be able to connect the viewers of my work with the beauty, uniqueness, and the poetry of this world through my eyes, my photography.
