bio
Hiking is my passion. I discovered it in Colorado during my time at Colorado State University studying mechanical engineering. The mountains gave me joy, happiness, good times, and a release. Whatever the mood, the backcountry always healed, helped or facilitated well-being and joy.
​
One year ago I moved to Kansas City, MO for my work. Moving from the mountains felt like ripping my passion from my heart. As humans do, we cope and evolve, as I did to discover similar feelings in nature in my new location. That did not last long; however, as I am now relocated to Colorado! Phew, can't go too long without the mountains!
​
Photography gives me the chance to help share my feelings, adventures, and experiences with all of you. I hold these images and these places dear to me, and as long as I can hike to explore new places you'll find me with a smile on my face.

Reflect on the possible impact of your actions.

Actively promote and educate others about these principles
