About me

I am an avid outdoorsman, photographer, and writer based in Clinton County, Pennsylvania. Most of my free time is spent in the outdoors. I enjoy the pursuit of chasing wild trout in wild places, hunting ruffed grouse on our public lands, and camping in the Pennsylvania Wilds. When I am not lost in some remote place in Pennsylvania’s backcountry, I’m dedicating my time to my career in environmental protection. I carry my camera with me both on my adventures and while conducting fieldwork for my career, to capture the wildlife and beautiful landscapes I come across.

I grew up in Lebanon County, Pennsylvania, where at a young age a passion for the outdoors was instilled in me by my father. My free time was spent in the woods or with a fishing rod in hand. In high school, I inherited an old Nikon D50 DSLR from my father as my first camera, and my love for photography began.

I eventually moved to State College, where I earned a bachelor’s degree in biology at Penn State University. Here, I discovered my passion for fly fishing, hiking, camping, and exploring the vast public lands at my disposal. After earning my degree, I began a career in environmental protection and continue to explore and hone my photography skills along the way.
