Philanthropy
I am always looking for opportunities to support worthy causes through my work, whether by donating prints to art auctions or by documenting landscapes under threat. Over the years, I have had the pleasure of supporting the following organizations, raising thousands of dollars with print donations and focusing my alpine ramblings in the North Cascades for conservation advocacy.
