Photography is a lifelong passion for me. It gives me new perspectives on the world around me, and allows me to chronicle moments in time. It’s what I love to do.

While I enjoy photographing anything interesting, I am especially fascinated in rediscovering the world immediately around me. I grew up in the Twin Cities area and have lived in Minnesota for most of my life (it’s grey duck!). I feel fortunate to live here: close to incredible arts, architecture, professional sports and city life, but still within reach of beautiful lakes, wildlife and nature. It’s this world near to me that comprises much of what I photograph.

I started using my camera to preserve and capture some of the places and moments that are special about Minnesota, as well as discovering new ones. In the process I’ve gained amazing new perspectives on things close to me but often overlooked or taken for granted. I try to capture what it is about a subject that fascinates me, so I can preserve and share it through photography.
