providing you a different view of our world

I enjoy traveling, camping, and taking pictures along the way. I try to look at things from a different perspective when capturing photos. My photos are mostly landscape, nature, and abstract. I hope these photos allow others to enjoy the places I've seen. Here is a dynamic (growing) list of my travels and pictures:

I was born and raised in Saint Paul Minnesota. I went to Northern Arizona University where I received a degree in Forestry and minors in Geographic Information Systems and Computer Science. I came back to Minnesota and received a Masters in Forestry from the University of Minnesota while I worked for the Minnesota Forest Resources Council. I met my wife while working for the State and we have two great dogs. Currently I work in the family business of manageing and maintaining great apartments in Saint Paul. I also am a part time tax consultant.

That's it in a nutshell,
