LOS ANGELES ISSUE 895 Oct 2022

"It was just six weeks after my last day of high school and my job was fighting wildfires- something I was proud to do in defense of the forests. I later learned the stinging paradox that the very act of fire suppression itself was killing the mountain ecosystems I loved.

In my years since fighting fires I have managed to keep things interesting - I completed a 222 mile solo hike of the John Muir Trail in the Sierra Nevadas; organized a rescue of my friends while we were being robbed by gunmen; snuck back into the US from France at O'Hare airport (post 9/11); and cheated death a few times.

All my life I wanted to be a photographer and work outdoors. I’ve driven 285,000 miles shooting for clients throughout the US and covered over 2500 square miles on helicopter assignments. And I hunted down and photographed the elusive 020 Pavilion for a personal project, which won an AIA LA Architectural Photography Award."
