The calm summer dawn awakens, as the sun crests above the trees and makes the morning mist glow. A ripple in the water disturbs the stillness, as a horned grebe carefully glides out into the open. In the reeds, it stops to have a look around. With a gentle splash, it dives and disappears. Where it resurfaced, I will never know.

Starting in 2007 my fascination with nature photography began.  In the years since, wildlife photography with a focus on birds has gone from a very passionate hobby of mine to become my career. I spend much of my free time in natural areas searching for birds and any other wildlife that comes along. I concentrate on using creative natural lighting and interesting compositions to capture unique images of common and rare wildlife. My favorite style is a more scenic photo that includes some of the habitat wildlife lives in. I also enjoy passing along the knowledge and experience that I have gathered over the years to other photographers who are eager to learn.
