For over forty five years I have enjoyed the nature of the world.  Born and raised in the country of the Teton Mountains, Devil Tower, and great high plains, I’ve never been in want of something to photograph; my first camera, given to me by parents on my eleventh birthday, a Kodak Browning, instilled in me a higher  love for nature and photography. It started first with my father, who, when I was old enough to follow along, taught me of the behavior and habits of wildlife. Throughout my youth, I would spend countless hours in the Wyoming wilderness hunting, fishing, tracking, and photographing nature. After starting a family, I spent several years working through the day and taking photography classes at night.  Studying under some of the top photographers of our time Jay Maisel ,Tom Mangelsen  and many more, I’ve worked to bring the life of nature to those who took the trails less traveled.
