ABOUT
Teaching, Shooting, & Sharing
I started Frozen Hiker Photography in late 2012 with the goal of providing classes and workshops for people wanting to improve their photographic skills. The goal remains the same and I am having just as much fun now as I did back when I started.
​
I offer a number of different learning opportunities that are designed to meet a number of different needs and budgets. These include:
-
Weekend Workshops
-
Classes at the University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum
-
Classes at the Minnetonka Center for the Arts
-
Classes at Centennial School District Continuing Education
-
Classes at Hot Sam's Foto Park
-
Photo Hikes and Lectures at the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge
For more information, check out the Workshop Section of my website.

About Me
​
I got introduced to photography by my grandfather. When I was around the age of 7, he gave me my first camera. I don't remember much about it other than it took 120 mm film. My next camera was a Kodak Instamatic that I carried with me everywhere. When I got to college, I took my next step when my friend Cheerios helped me purchase my first SLR, a Nikon EM with a 50mm lens. I have been using Nikon equipment ever since.
I enjoy shooting landscapes, wildlife, classic cars, old dilapidated buildings and equipment. I have been fortunate enough to visit some amazing locations, and I am always looking for new places to visit and experience. Some recent trips have been to Borneo, Costa Rica, Kaktovik Alaska, Galapagos Islands, Death Valley National Park, and Yellowstone National Park.
​
My photos have appeared in magazines, newspapers, calendars, and marketing materials.
