I am a wildlife and bird photographer, driven by a lifelong love of the natural world and the writers who first opened my eyes to it. My days in the field are spent quietly observing, waiting, and learning—and sometimes those still moments are rewarded with magic: a songbird caught in soft light, or a sudden gesture of wildness that stops you in your tracks.

Photography, for me, is both craft and curiosity. I chase the spark of an animal’s spirit, the play of light and shadow, and the small moments that often go unnoticed. This website is my way of sharing those discoveries, in the hope that my images inspire you to pause, notice, and fall a little in love with the wildlife around us—even right in our own backyards.

I have cared about conservation from an early age, growing up with a strong land ethic inspired by Aldo Leopold, who urged humans to become respectful members of the natural community rather than conquerors of it. My childhood summers were spent hiking, camping, and canoeing in the North Woods, tending our family garden, and maintaining local conservation areas. College life in New Hampshire deepened my connection to the outdoors through mountaineering and the outing club, and friendships with dedicated birders opened a new door of discovery.

David Brower, environmentalist and founder of Friends of the Earth, was an early role model for me. His mantra—“think globally, act locally”—has guided my life ever since. I have sought to act locally by contributing to and supporting many outstanding local environmental organizations, while also exploring remote wilderness areas and experiencing close encounters with wildlife that reaffirm how much nature wants to coexist with us.

Travel and experience have broadened my perspective on global environmental challenges, underscoring that our collective effort is needed to address them. While my interests have evolved over time, the principle of thinking globally and acting locally has remained constant.
