I’m a Pennsylvania native but relocated with my family as a teen to Dubuque, Iowa. After getting my business degree, I spent my long career in consumer marketing, first in Iowa and then in Colorado. When I semi-retired in 2016, I was able to devote more attention to photography. Since then, my award-winning work has been exhibited up and down the Front Range, from the shadows of the Spanish Peaks to the Santa Fe Arts District in Denver. My love of Colorado wildflowers and their conservation led me to pursue CSU certification as a Colorado Native Plants Master, which I was awarded in 2024.
