Despite my profile pic, I am not really a cheetah. In truth I am a photographer living in Santa Cruz, California. I grew up in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada and completely took that amazing opportunity for granted. For example, I lived about 2 hours away from Yosemite and visited the park maybe 5 times in 15 years. Yeah, I know.
When I moved to LA to study engineering I realized just what I had been missing out on by not spending more time in the woods. Ever since then I've been getting out and exploring as many neat places as I can, from the high sierra, to New Zealand, to Mongolia.
My studies in engineering ultimately led to a job designing autonomy and fault protection systems in communications satellites for Boeing. While it was a good job, it didn't really give me the freedom I needed to pursue the life I wanted to live. In 2008 I made a drastic change: I left my job at Boeing and started my own nature photography business.
Since then I've met countless people, shared lots of stories, traveled to places near and far, and even sold a few photos. The one thing I've found really amazing is the personal connections with people my photographs bring about. People tell me all about the yearly backpacking trips they would take past Cathedral Peak, or through the Little Lakes Valley; they talk to me about their African safaris; or they tell me about the places they dream of going. It's really neat to see all these wonderful moments in my life reflected in the lives of the folks who view my work.
