As a Colorado native, I have always grown up with the outdoors and travel being a large part of my life. When I was 15 years old my parents had the foresight to enroll me in a two-week outward Bound course. As a gift for the trip, my parents gave me my first camera, a Pentax Zoom 90-WR. This is where my passion for photography began. Since then, I have lived and traveled all over the world, and have seen and experienced many amazing moments. I live for capturing these moments through photography. After my decision in the Fall of 2006 to make my passion into a profession, I feel I am truly living my dream.
