Biography:

For as long as I can remember I have had an innate desire to be outside, discovering new things and pursuing adventure. Being a dedicated climber, skier and all around outdoor enthusiast has led me on many exciting excursions to explore unique and wonderful places. My other prevailing passion is photography. I began my photographic journey shooting black and white film and spending countless hours in the darkroom. After graduating from college I moved to New Paltz, NY so I would be closer to my favorite rock climbing area, the Gunks. After several years of guiding and learning about the Gunks I moved to Colorado. While in the Rocky Mountains I skied and traveled extensively throughout the Western states. Soon I was inspired to merge my two passions into a common pursuit. Tens of thousands of miles and tens of thousands of images later the goal remains the same and the journey continues.

All of the imagery presented here is available for use as stock photography or as a print, in addition to any image contained in my vast files. If you like what you see here, please contact me. I would be happy to discuss any project that you might have in mind.
