I've had a lifelong love for the natural world; the mountains, sea, forests. I hold a BS in Forestry from the University of Minnesota.  I spent all of my formative years sailing the oceans, I have had a 30+ years career as a corporate pilot.  I have had many experiences and interests over the years, but I have always had a need to express my creativity, to externalize my internal reaction to the environment. Each medium reflects my relationship with the natural world.

​

Through photography I try to convey the sense of the setting; the feeling evoked by being present.

 

Woodwork has allowed me to make something from the forests I treasure.  I like to think there is a sense of the wild in my work; unfinished edges, wild grain and interesting textures.

Boat building combines my roots, the sea and the forest.
