Zach was born and raised in upstate New York. It was near there, in the Adirondack Mountains, that Zach developed a passion for nature in all it’s forms. Geographic features such as mountains, glaciers, and rivers are some of his favorite photographic subjects. Wildlife is also a favorite subject on more of an opportune basis.

While Zach had been snapping pictures for awhile, it was not until a five month stint living and working in Glacier Bay, Alaska that he began to approach nature photography as a serious hobby. In his photography, Zach tries to present the viewer with an image that captures the beauty, power and magic of nature. It is also his hope that these photos will inspire others to develop a love and respect for the natural world and help support what remains of it.

Zach’s pursuit to see nature’s many forms has taken him from the 46 High Peaks of the Adirondacks to the Grand Canyon and Alaska. Along the way he has hiked and spent time in more than twenty of our beautiful National Parks and Forests, climbed some of our country’s most spectacular mountains, and had run-ins with some of it’s wildest creatures.
