I am a college student attending school at University of Wisconsin- Stevens Point for wildlife ecology. My primary interest is wildlife however, I love all things outdoors. I have been into photography for about 4 years now and have learned what little I know through reading but mostly trial and error. I have to thank my older sister for getting me interested in photography as she has always used it as a median to express herself. As I stated earlier I am only a 19-year-old college student but have been lucky enough to have great parents who have been blessed by God with a healthy income, allowing me to acquire a lot of equipment to continue my hobby/disease. I have always used Nikon systems and my Nikon 200-400mm has always been my most used lens. My camera goes wherever I do when I am traveling, driving, or walking. I have gotten to work in and visit some incredible places including Argentina, the Canadian Arctic and the Yukon Delta in Alaska and try my best to capture the wildlife there. I'm very interested in avian photography and primarily waterfowl. I enjoy nothing more than laying next to a beaver pond and watching wood ducks fly in to land nearby. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Take care.
