My interest in photography evolved from my awe and appreciation for the natual world. Growing up in rural Hawaii, I developed respect for the flora and fauna around me.

     Upon moving to Washington to attend college I fell in love with the wildlife and scenery of the Pacific Northwest. Shortly after graduation I purchased a Canon Elan II 35 mm camera with a 75-300mm zoom lens for personal photos of my adventures. I was drawn to capture on film the beauty of the volcanic regions so different from my home.

     Requests from friends for reprints resulted in my hobby evolving into a small business. With encouragement from friends, I entered art shows and my business has grown from there.

     I currently call the Pacific Northwest my home and spend much of my free time in the backcountry of Mt. Rainer with my camera capturing memories on film and leaving only footprints. I hope that my photographs will allow others to enjoy the beauty of nature and be inspired to appreciated and care for the land and wildlife that surrounds us all.
