About

Since you asked . . . I do most of my living and working in Omaha, Nebraska. My photography and nonfiction are concerned with themes of wilderness and change in American landscapes and culture.

My work has previously appeared in the journals Fourth Genre, New Ohio Review, Isthmus, The New Territory, and NEBRASKAland, among others.  Additionally, my writing has twice been named among other “Notable Essays” in Robert Atwan’s Best American Essays series, and has been featured on the Public Radio program “Living on Earth.” 

I’m also proud to work among an incredible community of artists and activists at The Union for Contemporary Art. Come visit me there!

Also, also … I maintain an idle relationship with music making. Here’s the evidence.
