ABOUT ME

In short, I like to play outside. I moved from New York City out to Telluride to trade tall buildings for mountains to bike, ski and climb.

Professionally, I split my time between working as a photojournalist - locally and abroad - and as the Executive Director of the San Juan Independent - a nonprofit newspaper that I just started.
