I was born in California near Napa Valley, growing up in a lush forested area where there was no shortage of horses. Though I rode at every chance I could, it wasn’t until I was ten that I got the chance to be up close on a constant basis. At eleven, I moved away to wild horse country with a new family member, a dad (stepdad) to love.

Where I am
Currently, I’m living in Portland, Oregon

Tell us a little about you, what is your background & where do you come from?
I’m a bit of a world traveler—haven’t really stuck around in one place for too long. I like to think it’s because I’m adventuresome, but it’s really got more to do with my dad’s job.

By the time I was five years old, I was living in Jakarta, and had traveled to Bali, Lombok, and Komodo Island. Other places I’ve lived include Singapore and England. But what really brings out the thrill-seeker in me is photography.
