I tell stories through images. 

I search for moments of honesty, using natural light and shadow to enhance the raw beauty of human experiences.

Though an image reflects a singular moment, in that split second a complex array of feelings and emotions are revealed, conveying a much greater story of the person and place.

Through these images, I tell stories of remarkable individuals and the stunning world in which we live. I cherish the meaningful relationships I’ve built through this storytelling journey and look forward to the discovery new collaborations will bring.

Day 2 of the US Open of Cross in Boulder has me wishing there was going to be a Day 3... Day 2 of the US Open of Cross in Boulder meant bundling up. Day 2 of the US Open of Cross in Boulder was a winter wonderland. Day 1 of the US Open of Cross in Boulder had me reconnecting. • I haven’t seen @mashedpotatoesandfrosting since my @gymjonessalvation Level 1 certification in 2007 (?). • I was pleasantly surprised when I saw him ride by, and even more pleased that he recognized me. • Well done Shawn. It was great seeing you. Day 1 of Cross Nationals in Boulder may not go as planned. Day 1 of Cross Nationals in Boulder delivered. In front of a packed house at the @bouldertheater, @jeremyjones, backed by the staff members of @protectourwinters, expressed the impact we each can have on the preservation of our wild places. • There is still time to effect change. • Text 52886 and answer “votepow” for easy info on how to register. You can also register to vote at www.vote.org Only 36% of Americans voted in the last midterm election. Time to get off the sidelines. Get out and vote. Text 52886 and answer “votepow” for easy info on how to register. You can also register to vote at www.vote.org Last night, I had the opportunity to join @jeremyjones and @elenahight (along with a sold out @bouldertheater) for the world premiere of “Ode to Muir”. • I left feeling inspired, proud, and hopeful. • This film should be required viewing for anyone who needs a reminder of the importance of wilderness, and the effects climate change is having on our world. The awkward nature of the atlas stones and weighted logs quickly make a challenge out the lightest object. • In other words, don’t expect your numbers from the barbell to transfer over... I’ll call it “The Set”. • That moment just before you put forth an effort, when each of us goes somewhere mentally or says something to themselves to help them through that next effort. • I’m fascinated by that moment. “I can change the world, with my own two hands.” The balance between light and darkness. Unbreakable.
