“A pencil. A playbill. A stranded football. Many things can be held accountable for firing a passion within young hobbyists. Who would have thought that for me it would be a phone? Raised in Lake Tahoe, nature was no stranger. What began as childhood play in the woods, blossomed into a lifelong passion for the wilderness. From there, it was a nearly seamless transition into capturing those amazing views to share with the world. When I’m not behind the viewfinder, I can be found creating music or tampering with technology. I share a lovely home with two cats, and more backpacking equipment than I care to mention. I love to meet new people and am always open to a random conversation with a stranger. I’m here because I value nature. I’m here because I want to share that with you. I’m here because it would be selfish to keep the beauty of this world and everything in it hidden away in my own mind’s eye. ”
