ACCOMPLISHMENTS

With a lifelong passion for photography, I’ve spent decades exploring how to capture images that tell meaningful stories. From sweeping landscapes to action-packed shots and intimate wildlife encounters, my work spans many genres, always guided by light, composition and emotion.

My journey began as a teenager, developing film for my high school annual. By 1983, I was already involved in the photography community, serving on boards such as KPAC in Kamloops and later COPS in Kelowna and the Trilogy Photo Club in Phoenix, Arizona.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working on a variety of self imposed projects. One especially close to my heart began in 2010, when I photographed animals at the local SPCA. Those images were donated and sold to help raise funds for the shelter—a project that combined my love for photography and animals along with giving back to the community.
