  Stanley Photographic inc.

  Jan 2004 - Jan 2006

  Nike

  Jan 2006 - Oct 2010

  Photography Assistant

  I work with the photo studio on Nike's campus in Beaverton, OR. They hire me to work mostly in the studio assisting a wide array of photographers but I also get many jobs on location through them. The work I assist on in studio and on location is usually product shots, documentation, and with photo shoots with models.

  Treading Light Photography

  Jan 2009 - Jan 2018

  Owner/Photographer

  I am a commercial and editorial photographer specializing in studio photography and adventure work. We have a studio in the creative St. Johns neighborhood of Portland, ORE. This is a fully functional space where we can light just about anything from talent bustin' a wheelie on a mountain bike to a pair of sunglasses catching light just right with an explosion or radness behind them. My outside work takes me to summits on snowy peaks, across Oregon on a bicycle, or to a big ole' city to capture lifestyle amongst urban nature. I love specializing in variety. I love creating magic light in the studio and need to shoot in wild places with wild folks amongst incredible landscapes to fuel both passions. The people I'm lucky to work with love this too.

  AntFarm Youth Services

  Oct 2017 - Oct 2018

  Outdoors and YouthCore Programs Manager

  In a nutshell I worked to educate youth the importance of hard work and play and balancing these two aspects. I worked to secure funds through grant writing, building relationships in our community, managing our youthcore work program, and fulfilling trail contract work with both private and government agencies. I also built an outdoor recreation program designed to get youth recreating, sleeping in and appreciating our outdoor spaces.

  Timberline Lodge & Ski Resort

  Oct 2018 - now

  Ground broke for the completely new Timberline Bike Park in 2018. I was working with AntFarm Youth Services at the time and we landed a contract to assist in building the trails. In 2019, I was offered the job to manage every aspect of the construction of this project, and, once completed, transition into the operations manager while overseeing future enhancements through sustainable practices in a rich alpine environment. This position requires a close working relationship with members of the United States Forest Service and a thorough understanding of the NEPA process. Show less
