I grew up playing in the dirt of Crestone, Colorado—a small end-of-the-road town in the San Luis Valley. From an early age, my dad instilled a deep love for the mountains. He also handed me my first camera, sparking a lifelong passion for capturing the world around me. Once I discovered the magic of photography and video, I was hooked. Today, my work revolves around adventure media. Whether skiing deep powder in Japan, climbing in Mexico, or rafting wild rivers in Alaska, I’m always seeking to share stories that celebrate the beauty of the natural world.

I believe powerful visuals can inspire action. My goal is to encourage others to explore, connect with, and ultimately care for wild spaces.

If you’re looking to collaborate on a project or simply connect, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d love to hear from you.

Artist Statement

At its essence, my work revolves around exploration. Photography allows me to create with what is presented in front of me, taking a physical place, structure, object, etc, and confining the light that reflects off said objects. This process requires explorations in both the physical nature of being at a location and exploration when looking for compositions, exposures, subjects, and a myriad of other factors that might catch my eye. 

I often work spontaneously, preferring to discover the subjects of my photos in the field. I find spontaneity allows me to capture moments authentically and creatively, enabling me to create a diversity of images. While many of my images may share a similar naturalistic-based theme, every image stands as a unique moment, a reflection of what I find compelling at that exact point in time. 

The majority of my work revolves around the natural world and how humans fit into it. Vast mountain ranges, alpine rivers and lakes, and beach sunsets are a few examples of the compelling beauty I find in the natural world. To me, nature has already sculpted the most beautiful scenes, I simply try to find and capture them with my camera. I additionally find myself (not always, but regularly) including human subjects in my photos. I love to contrast human subjects with the surrounding landscapes. I find that images become more relatable both personally and to my audience,e but additionally, it brings up questions of our place on earth and gives us perspective of how we fit into the world as a whole. I enjoy playing with this commentary and I hope my images help to humble, teach, and contextualize our place in this world. Ultimately, I hope that my work leads one to appreciate the value of these extremely beautiful natural spaces.
