I have great respect for nature and its never-ending phenomena.  As a native Oregonian, I was fortunate to be exposed to the outdoors from a young age.  Camping in the mountains, rainy beach trips and hikes in the woods were my family’s version of Disneyland.  Since, I’ve had the privilege of traveling beyond, living in other parts of the world and experiencing the many landscapes and cultures of our planet - a camera always within reach. I met my wife while living in Perth, Australia and thankfully we share the same ridiculous wanderlust.  Nature is our great escape, our joy. Experiencing and capturing as much as possible in this great world is what it’s all about.
