If you're looking for white bread, you might want to keep looking. Whether through photography, creative writing or objective reporting, I love to help people think and react. To flip a subject on its side and expose its underbelly.
Be it marketing, photography, an advertisement on Henry's Fork fly fishing, a hard news story on nuclear research, or a miner's tale of courage, I believe every story is essentially about people — both the reading audience and the subject.
At the end of the day, I am a father of four, husband of one — and I am hell bent on doing right by the lot of them.
