BIO

I grew up backpacking with my brother and father in the Wind Rivers in Wyoming. While my dad refused to backpack anywhere else, my brother and I went on to work for the Forest Service and explored the West through a widening circle of firefighting. Travel and landscape aesthetics continue to be a focus of my interest in photography.

I am grateful that organizations have found my work useful: National Geographic Adventure and Online Edition, The Travel Channel, MSN, The Guardian newspaper, Men's Journal, AARP, Lonely Planet, Utah Department of Tourism, AAA Magazine, Discover Magazine, as well as editorial and advertising campaigns around the world. Some work is licensed through the Aurora Photos collection at Cavan Images.

In addition, Zachary Proctor has been a trusted friend and mentor in my interest in oil painting, which I will be working to improve my entire life.
