I've been passionate about photography ever since I picked up my first camera thirty years ago. I grew up in Port Angeles Washington, on the Olympic Peninsula, a place of rugged beauty, where Mother Nature certainly created a winning recipe

I call Port Orchard Washington home now. It's nestled between the snow-capped Cascades and the Olympic Mountain Range, with Mount Rainier looming to the South. I enjoy spending my spare time in the natural world experiencing wilderness camping and hiking.

The Pacific Northwest is a richly diverse wilderness area. The mountains rise up 14,000 feet above the sea. There are magnificent rain drenched forests, treeless desert lands, whitewater rivers, in a landscape as beautiful and prolific as an artist's painting.

It's always difficult to pick out my all-time favorite images. More often than not, I fail to convey the beauty of this area. A few times a year those serendipitous moments come together. However, it's the emotion I feel while exploring, that is just as important as the image itself.

My twenty personal favorites are in no particular order. They could, and probably will change at any given day. "Behind each image is a story." Some are quite different from one another, and require a different mindset and approach.

In many ways the views I share look much today as they did when I first discovered the forests and mountains growing up. When I'm out exploring, I enjoy the quiet harmony spent with nature, It's a time to reflect about my childhood memories, and the unforgettable days spent exploring the Pacific Northwest.

"Each time I return, it's like visiting an old friend."

You've probably figured it out by now, the reason you are here is because you feel a connection with Nature much like I do. All too often our hectic lives somehow get in the way, even with our best intentions. "Hopefully my photographs will encourage you in a small way, to get out and explore the area that you call home."




My photography has become varied, as the years pass by. Every type of genre satisfies a different artistic longing. My landscapes have always defined my style, and have been a natural progression. Portraiture, lately has become a very exciting endeavor.
