Bio

I'm an environmental photojournalist specializing in environmentally responsible conservation photography and nature education. My goal is to use photography to communicate about and educate people about the environment by 1) using the products of conservation photography and environmental photojournalism in conjunction with mass media to bring attention to environmental issues and 2) connecting and engaging people with the world around them through participatory photography programs and initiatives.

Additionally, I am also an award winning writer, passionate environmentalist, and free spirited adventurer. I've worked for years an outdoor experiential educator and guide leading outdoor and adventure based trips geared to assist individuals' self discovery and growth as leaders while simultaneously building knowledge of and a connection with the natural world. I have partnered with a number of non-profit organizations and educational institutions to provide meaningful outdoor experiences to children and young adults throughout the United States. I also serve as the editor and community coordinator for NatureScapes.Net, a online community of nature photographers; as a moderator for SustainableFocus.org, a an online community for visual communication on science, nature, and the environment; an instructor for Frame of Mind, an organization that provides environmental photography programs for youth; and as a regional ambassador and college scholarship program committee member for the North American Nature Photography Association (NANPA).
