Bio

Relatively new to wildlife photography I got my start in 2012 after accidentally wandering too close to a Northern Goshawk’s nest. When I realized my error I turned to retreat and the protective Goshawk swooped my head, making contact, twice. I left with superficial wounds on my head and a deep reverence for the power and protective nature of this female Goshawk. Four years later, in 2016, I have studied and developed a better understanding of nature, wildlife and photography. I have photographed wildlife in several different US states, including Alaska, and recently traveled to Africa. I have spent countless hours in makeshift blinds watching and photographing Wood Ducks in NY and Peregrine Falcons at a natural cliff eyrie in PA. I am passionate about observing and photographing wildlife on its terms, wild, unaltered and undisturbed.
