Biography: I am a landscape photographer and Journeyman Carpenter born in Altona, Manitoba currently based in Edmonton, Alberta. I became interested in photography after buying my first camera for a missions trip to El Salvador in March 2005.
Once introduced to a DSLR a couple years later, is when my interest in photography started to become a passion. I am self-taught from reading books and articles online. I have learned from other photographers that I’ve met through online forums and am still continuing to learn as a photographer.
I love to spend time in the mountains, camping and hiking, enjoying nature from the smallest bugs to the many different wild animals and landscapes the world has to offer.
