I grew up in the Black Hills area of South Dakota. I graduated December 15, 2001 from  Northern State University in Aberdeen, SD.   I  majored in  Biology and Environmental Science.  I actively participated in the NSU Science Club and Sigma Alfa Iota. While at NSU, I spent one year on exchange at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. During my time spent in Hawaii, I studied Marine Biology. Some of my interests are playing guitar, photography, spelunking, scuba diving, hiking, camping and watching movies.

This collection of wildflowers that my grandfather has photographed are  a short collection from his original set. This site  was created in honor of his interest in botany and skill as a nature photographer. Thank you and I hope you enjoy them as much as my family and I do.
