I gained a deep appreciation for wildlife while growing up in Kansas and traveling throughout the western states. The adaptability and diversity of wildlife continues to amaze me, especially those species residing in grasslands and deserts of the West.

I am also a professional wildlife ecologist, having worked primarily for federal and state wildlife agencies over the years... but am 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. I have lived in Ft. Collins, Colorado since 2000 (albeit for a 2-year hiatus in Minnesota for my M.S.).

I view photography as a way to share my perspectives of nature with others. In the past I have published photographic work and articles in 'Colorado Outdoors' magazine, on the cover of a book on sagebrush ecosystems, and have provided use of photos to several non-profit conservation organizations, including the Partners in Amphibian and Reptile Conservation.
