Born and raised in Salem Massachusetts, I have grown up with a great appreciation for the natural world around me.  I currently reside in the woods of New Hampshire in a quaint farm cottage with my small family. My free time is spent exploring New England with my camera, scuba diving, managing my apiary, taking flying lessons, and hiking in the White Mountains. I bird watch frequently, and in spring and summer take inventory of insects visiting the vast gardens I have planted. I love the interaction between land and the light flooding across at dusk and dawn, and have been exploring long exposures photography in the city and astrophotography while in more rural areas.
