When did you start photography?

In my sophomore year at high school, at the ripe age of 16.

How important is photography for you?

Photography is an extremely important creative outlet that gets me into some amazing places that most people never see. I am incredibly happy that I have found something with such purpose which is also a lot of fun.

Your favourite and most inspiring location?

Camping atop a cliff in the High Peaks of the Adirondacks, New York, with a sheer drop of 1000ft in front of me, and mountains towering 1000ft on either side. Also, there is a lake below, and the milky way is stretching from horizon to horizon over my sleeping bag.

Who is your favourite past or present photographer?

I really like the new and inspiring work being produced by modern-day nature photographers. I prefer a clean, subtle processing style and creative takes on new or familiar locations. Two of my favourites again are Ian Plant and Floris Van Breugel.

Besides photography, do you have any other hobbies?

Mountain Biking is my other life; I go out riding many times per week. I also enjoy backpacking, hiking, and kayaking.

What are your future photographic plans?

To continue to grow my business and to gain recognition. I’d love to make a living selling prints and editorial work. Leading photographic workshops are a definite possibility.
