I gained a deep appreciation for wildlife and native ecosystems while growing up in Kansas and traveling throughout the western states. I am a professional wildlife ecologist, having worked primarily for federal and state wildlife agencies over the years - now at Colorado State University pursuing a Ph.D. in Ecology. My dissertation research is investigating potential impacts of environmental change on reptiles in the Great Plains (see http://www.reptilemonitor.org for more info.). Except for 2 years in Minnesota, I have lived in Ft. Collins, Colorado since 2000.

I view photography as a way to share my perspectives of and experiences in nature with others. In the past I have published photographic work and articles in 'Colorado Outdoors' magazine (including the 2014 Annual Photography Issue), the 'Sonoran Herpetologist' newsletter-journal, part of a composite on the cover of a book (Hanser et al. 2011), and have provided use of photos to several non-profit conservation organizations, including the Partners in Amphibian and Reptile Conservation (e.g., see http://www.coparc.org/species.html), and state and federal wildlife agencies.
