Award-winning photographer and explorer, John calls a tiny house on his wife's historic Maryland farm his base camp. But his true passion lies in traversing landscapes on foot, from national park hikes to his local park's trails. With 10,000+ miles logged and the Appalachian Trail conquered, John feet know no bounds.

KINSA, Kodak’s international award soon followed, igniting a fire that led him to share his vision through workshops and classes. For John, photography isn't just a passion; it's an extension of his mind, translating vibrant textures and colors into stunning visuals.
