I grew up in Arizona and now live in Bozeman Montana. I've had an interest in photography since I was around 14 years old. I carried a camera with me on numerous Boy Scout trips across the state of Arizona. it was then I developed a love for outdoor landscape photography. this was the late 1990's and digital was still far from the big stage. I can remember spending hours in my high school dark room trying to print the perfect black and white. this technique followed me well into my college years and then I began to experiment with digital photography.

The American west has always been my home and even though I reside in the great state of Montana I still spend part of the year in the desert southwest. when I'm not out shooting you can often find me fly fishing a blue ribbon trout stream in southwest Montana or bird hunting in southern Arizona with my dad and his prized bird dog “Jake”

Photography is one aspect of life that always keeps you on your toes, you never know what great image might be around the next bend. you just need to be prepared and love what your doing.
