About
Thank you for visiting my site. I'm a photographer who creates images to help tell the stories of conservation and the natural world. I specialize in underwater images of freshwater ecosystems. I am most well known for photographs of the native trout of Rocky Mountain National Park and the Southern Rocky Mountains, with the threatened greenback cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii stomias) in particular.
My images are available for licensing for various uses (including for IA training datasets), and a few are available as limited edition fine art prints. Additionally, I am available for assignment work to help you tell your conservation or natural history story. Please Contact me with any questions. Based in Fort Collins, Colorado.
