About
My Journey
Over 30 years ago, I was a young art director cutting my teeth on the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort account. That work didn’t just shape my creative instincts—it confirmed my love for the outdoors. I’d even argue the ads we made back then still hold up.
That project was the start of a long run in the agency world—first as an art director, then a creative director, and eventually a partner at an award-winning shop. I spent decades helping build brands from the ground up—crafting campaigns that earned trust, stirred emotion, and stood the test of time.
Then I did something rare in this business: I slowed down.
I left the conference calls behind and set up shop in the mountains, where I could work with more intention—and a clearer point of view. The pace changed, but the standards didn’t. I cut the noise, kept the discipline, and focused on work that actually moves the needle. Whether we’re building a brand, capturing a product, or telling a story, I bring experience that runs deep—and a point of view that doesn’t bend to trends.
What I do
I shoot. I direct. I design. And I do it all with a clear eye and a strong point of view.
This studio isn’t limited by medium—what matters is the idea, the execution, and whether it holds up under pressure. Some clients bring me on for photography. Others need brand strategy, design systems, or art direction across a campaign. Sometimes, it’s all of the above.
From infamous ski towns to healthcare giants, Olympic stages to outdoor brands, I’ve built stories for names everyone knows—and names you should.
Whatever the scale, whatever the brief, the goal stays the same: make it sharp, make it honest, and make it last.
Capabilities include:
• Photography (commercial, editorial, product, lifestyle)
• Creative Direction
• Brand Identity & Design
• Art Direction for Campaigns
• Visual Storytelling / Brand Strategy
• Production Oversight & Collaboration
Why me?
-
I listen—carefully, and without ego.
-
I’ve spent 30+ years shaping brands that last.
-
I care more about your message than my aesthetic.
-
I bring clarity to chaos—and calm to high-stakes moments.
-
I ask the right questions. Then I deliver the right work.
-
I understand strategy as much as I understand craft.
-
I work like the deadline’s real—because it is.
-
And I don’t need to be the loudest in the room to make the work stand out.

About
Lorem epsolre et requim.
Before the mountain studio, there were agency floors and long fluorescent days. I spent three decades inside the marketing machine as a partner and owner—building brands, directing campaigns, shaping images—long enough to know how it works and where it breaks. I learned how stories get engineered, where attention really goes, and how quickly noise can bury meaning. The awards stacked up. The pitches landed. The machine didn’t slow down—and neither did I.
Then I stepped out of it on purpose and set up at elevation. I didn’t switch offices. I switched priorities—toward craft, place, and work that doesn’t chase approval. Today I work from a quieter place with the same hard-earned instincts and far less patience for bullshit. The experience still shows in the work—but now it’s aimed at things with actual weight: craft, place, people, and stories that don’t chase approval.

About
Work informed by experience
I’m a photographer and creative director with more than 30 years of experience building brands as an agency partner and owner. I’ve led campaigns, directed teams, and developed work for clients who valued consistency over noise and stayed for the long haul.
Today I work independently from a mountain studio, combining photography, creative direction, and brand thinking. I focus on people, products, and place—creating images and stories that are clear, considered, and built to last. No spectacle. No trend-chasing. Just work that holds up.
