I'm a naturalist and journalist based in Alaska. Born and raised in Kansas, I fell in love with rock climbing when I was 15. I bought a camera shortly thereafter and started spending every spare moment chasing the next adventure.

I graduated from the University of Kansas with degrees in journalism and film and media production. I spent a year working in various Colorado newsrooms before accepting a seasonal position in Southeast Alaska. The last frontier sunk her teeth into me, and I quickly became another seasonal-worker-turned-resident. 

I'm currently working as a naturalist photography guide at Gastineau Guiding in Juneau.
