My experience with covering the West began over twenty years ago when I published/edited

an alternative newspaper in Bozeman, Montana called "The Tributary." At the time, Montana was in the infancy of population growth, and we were conducting - and photographing - roundtable interviews with city officials on topics like: Should we allow "big box" stores to come to town?

Today, a photojournalist, I am still based in Bozeman (with a family), and continue to cover the West, but now I am delving into projects that explore the complexities of life in a rural mountain state. Some of my recent work has focused on the population boom in Montana and its consequent issues: displacement and homelessness, the housing crisis, the influx of ultra wealth and the strain on natural resources. I also remain focused on other important topics ranging from the vitality of our LBGTQ community to political races and rallies to landmark journalism about the historic flooding of Yellowstone National Park. Finally, I hope my travel assignments communicate my love for Montana and the West; in large part, this work is about capturing the beauty and authenticity of a changing landscape to inspire preservation.

On the resume side of photojournalism: I have freelanced for The New York Times for over 15 years. My work has also been published by titles such as The New York Times Magazine, the ACLU, Montana ACLU, The Guardian, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, NPR, NBC News, Travel + Leisure, Associated Press and others (links to feature stories at bottom).
