My interest in photography began in 2013 when I bought my first camera after a vacation in Iceland. Now I spend as much free time as possible photographing wildlife while working full-time as an engineer. Originally from Atlanta, Georgia, USA, my home is now Switzerland. I am a member of the group Naturfotografen Schweiz.

I offer workshops in wildlife photography both for group or as private lessons. All of my photos are available to license or to buy as prints. Please contact me for more information. I hope you enjoy viewing my website and experiencing the beauty of wildlife. See my list of publications and awards below.

I also am an accomplished player of the great highland bagpipe. See my Bagpiping page for more information and how to hire me for your private event!
