What if you could see the ocean through the eyes of someone who’s spent more than 40 years in and around water — not just skimming the surface, but diving deep into its hidden worlds?

Water has shaped my life from the very beginning. I started swimming at age six, competing by seven, and was soon ranked among the top sprint swimmers in Colorado. In high school, I began coaching younger swimmers and lifeguarding — roles that helped pay my way through college.

After law school, I built a career defending attorneys and competed in over 40 triathlons — including one where I beat Lance Armstrong before his return to racing in Europe. But it was in my 40s that everything shifted. I took up scuba diving, and the ocean transformed from a training ground into a living, breathing canvas.

What I found underwater was astonishing: vibrant marine life, intricate ecosystems, and fleeting moments of connection that felt like pure wonder. I began photographing what I saw — not just to document it, but to tell its story. To share the emotion. The magic. The fragile beauty.

My work focuses on the behaviors, personalities, and visages below the surface — and sometimes, those on land and in the air.

For much of my career, I told stories in courtrooms — through testimony, evidence, and narrative. Now I tell them through color, light, and pixels. My goal is simple: to invite others to see what I’ve seen, to feel the connection I’ve felt — and to help inspire awe, appreciation, and a deeper care for the natural world.
