I grew up in a small town in southern Wisconsin where I developed a passionate interest in nature and the outdoors. In 1981, after high school, I set my sights on Alaska, seeking adventure in a wilderness landscape along with a university education in Fairbanks. Following graduation, I combined my childhood love of the visual arts and outdoor interests to forge a career as a freelance nature photographer. Now in my fourth decade of exploring and photographing Alaska, its epic landscape continues to lure me both personally as an observer and professionally as an artist.
My Alaska is revealed in the 30,000+ images that define my photographic career. The pictures tell a small part of a larger story, one of a curious student in nature’s grand classroom. Along this personal and professional journey of life and art, I’m continually reminded that the gift of seeing requires more than the eyes that see.
Thanks for viewing,
