Growing up working a variety of manual labor positions, from landscaping, welding, tire remanufacturing, and more, I struggled to realize my true passion in life. Throughout it all I was constantly drawn to nature as my escape. As a child I idolized the legendary nature conservationist, Steve Irwin, and dreamt of traveling the world and experiencing all of it's natural wonder. Now I am finally realizing that dream. As a wildlife and landscape photographer my goal is to bring the serenity of nature into people's everyday live's. And in doing so I hope to benefit conservation and humanitarian efforts throughout the world.
