about

Originally from NJ, I moved to Montana to heal the wounds that are created by living in the most densely populated state and being so isolated from nature.  In Montana I see and love the land and its people differently each day, recording it with my approach of natural spontaneous capture.

My photography falls in the matrix where fine art and documentary meet; where I can tell truths about our relationships to other people, animals, nature, and ourselves.  My work is about empathy.

A fine art, editorial, and documentary photographer I am based in Bigfork, Montana in the Flathead Valley, just a short drive north from Missoula - available everywhere.
