From my website...

"Born and raised in the hustle and bustle of the east coast suburbs of Philadelphia, Nature was something I was not quite familiar with as I am today. After spending brief time with the cub scouts as a child, I soon began to find the urge to be outside. While on a family "camping" trip I realized there is much to explore outside the doors of my home. It would not be until I had moved to Arizona with my family that I would find my calling. Moving at the age of 13 was difficult as I would imagine it would be for anyone. Leaving all my friends, family, and childhood behind. It was time to start over. I quickly became fixated on the desert landscape. Well before I picked up a camera, I would ride my bike through the desert with friends and just spend the daylight hours dispersed in nature. My junior year of high school, my life would change. I took a photography class which only used film cameras at the time. I learned how to develop film, enlarge for prints, and of course, the fundamentals of how a photograph is made. However, it wasn't until my first year of community college that I realized the potential I had with a camera in hand. I began photographing everything in sight. I wanted to see new places and explore new areas and document my travels. When I heard of a magazine called Arizona Highways, I was simply taken in by the amazing photography showcased on each page. It was the magazine that began to inspire me to focus on the wild places far from people and to find solitude. To this day, it is still my number one inspiration to keep taking photos. I have traveled countless miles through western United States, and I plan on traveling to new places in the future and capture the beauty of nature. There is nothing like being out in nature taking in a sunrise or a sunset with complete silence, or hearing elk bugle at dawn. That is where I find my solitude. I hope I can inspire each of you who view my photos to step outside and appreciate what nature has to offer."
