I grew up in a small town in New Hampshire, where my parents gave me a lasting gift: curiosity about the natural world. They also taught me ways to move through that enticing world in all seasons, skiing, climbing, camping, boating - along with methods of learning how to observe, adapt, and feel at home in the outdoors. That early immersion shaped me and continues to inform everything I do.

My professional life began with me tinkering with (analog) electronics, which led to studying music in college and working in the recording industry building studios and engineering records. In my mid-twenties, I moved west and shifted into photography and video, eventually focusing on wildlife and social documentary subjects.

In recent years, my attention has shifted toward conducting biological field work, which grew naturally out of decades spent working alongside scientists and biologists, often from behind the camera, especially with NOAA. Moving into the bio field has been both humbling and exhilarating, offering a deeper understanding of the systems I’ve long documented. The closer I work with nature, the more it continues to surprise me, expanding my perspectives and reinforcing my lifelong sense of wonder in the natural world.
