About
The one holding the camera.
I'm not a professional photographer and I'm not trying to become one. I take pictures because I like paying attention — to a room, to the light in it, to people I already know well. What ends up in a set here is whatever came out of that.
This is the personal half of the site. Here for the design work instead? See the UX portfolio


Outside the work
I'm a husband, a dad, and a chronic hobbyist. Hailey and I live in Bloomington, MN with our three toddlers, which keeps our hands reliably full, and any chance to get outside gets taken. In whatever time's left: I play guitar with a worship team, write and obsessively listen to music, game with friends, read good books, and make coffee I'm probably too particular about.
What I'm into
A running list of what I'm enjoying.

Say hello
If a picture caught you, or you just want to talk shop about cameras, I'd like to hear it.
Thanks for looking.
