Summary
A passionate wildlife photographer with a focus on conservation. Spending the majority of my life documenting and recording species native to where I have resided has allowed me to find what is really important in conservation. People do not know what there is to protect in natural spaces without seeing the beauty they hold firsthand. The unique way I capture animals by immersing myself in their home allows a broader audience to appreciate what lies just feet away.

Additional Information
Having my pictures in many art galleries over the past decade has allowed me to see that those without a direct relationship or passion for the outdoors can still see and appreciate the wonder in holds. Having those who are not conservationists first is key to the conservation effort as it allows more people to discover what is really important for our future as well as the other species we share a home. With my ability to draw in more diverse audience by capturing the natural world how it was meant to be seen a fresh set of eyes will appreciate what matters.
