About The Photographer
In February of 2010, I was tired of staring at a computer screen for up to 18 hours a day. On my 36th birthday I quit my job and headed out to Snowbird Ski Resort in Utah to take a break and road trip for two months. While in Utah I discovered a couple of the national parks in the southern part of the state (Arches and Canyonlands) and fell in love.
A two-month break from the office has turned into a 6-year road trip (camping and living in the car) to all the National Parks in the lower 48 states as well as state parks, historic sites and a road trip through the Canadian Rockies.
