To me, Nature is God. Without it, we simply would not exist. Conserving the world’s natural spaces and the creatures that live there is paramount to the survival of humans as a species, and I have therefore dedicated my life to studying environmentalism in order to help people co-exist more successfully and sustainably with the natural world.
All natural materials I use in my creations are either sourced from roadkill, Fish and Game, secondhand sources such as fellow artists and estate sales, or are antique. In this way, I'm ensuring that no animals were needlessly killed for the sake of the artwork I produce. I fully believe that no part of any creature should go to waste if a purpose can be found for it, but I do NOT support trophy hunters or overseas fur farms by buying 'byproducts' like bones, skulls, or claws directly from them. The only exception I make for this rule is for parts from animals legally culled for population control programs approved by Fish and Wildlife.
As a photographer and wildlife enthusiast, I've been involved with many fantastic organizations such as Images4Life and Wild Tiger, as well as the Sierra Club and many smaller, local groups.
I've been published, interviewed, and even featured on Rainn Wilson (Dwight from “The Office”)'s personal networking website, SoulPancake.com.
I’ve also been blessed with the opportunity to visit many of the world’s most amazing wild places, like Komodo Island, Bali, Lombok, Malaysia, and the Cayman Islands, and have even documented entirely new species previously unknown to science.
Other interests include: Wilderness survival, primitive skills, backpacking, fishing, kayaking, boffing, airsoft, snowboarding, meandering around town, and caving.

TIGER DIES IN POACHER’S ILLEGAL LEGHOLD TRAP.
A tiger was killed and another severely injured by poachers’ traps at the Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve in the Chandrapur district of Maharashtra.
Sources said that a guard who had gone near the waterholes to install camera traps in the area spotted them and alerted the authorities. While the injured tiger is being treated in Nagpur, a high alert has been declared in the region to nab the poachers suspected to be from the Bahaliya community.
“The injured tiger was immediately tranquilised and rushed to a special vet in Nagpur. The forest officials have now declared a red alert and have started looking out for any other traps using metal detectors. Police officers have also asked their informers to keep a track on suspected medicine sellers in whose guise poachers operate,” said National Tiger Conservation Authority member Pandu Dhotre.
Mr. Dhotre said that this time the poachers’ mission had failed - otherwise they would have taken away the teeth, skin, and bones of the dead tiger.
“Since the incident was detected early, they did not dare to come close to the trap,” he said.
