I am a Metallurgical Engineer that graduated from the Missouri University of Science and Technology in 2007. I have my MBA from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. I live in the St. Paul suburbs and I am from Colorado. I worked north of the Arctic Circle from 2008 to 2014. In May 2011 I transferred to copper and zinc (plus about 4 other metals) mine near Huaraz, Peru for a year assignment.

I enjoy the outdoors, especially going to places that I can capture with my camera. I got into photography in 2010 when I learned I would take a trip to Shanghai and then go to Peru for a year. Since then, I have learned a lot about photography. I am still learning, as you can tell by my photos. I enjoy looking back on the places and things I have captured, and I look forward to capturing the next places I will go.
