I didn’t plan on the Arctic becoming my lifelong muse, but back in February 2007, when I first moved up North to Arviat before eventually making Iqaluit my home, I knew I had stepped into somewhere entirely extraordinary.

By day, you’ll find me working in IT for the Government of Nunavut. A job that has given me the incredible privilege of traveling to communities across the territory. But stepping away from the screen with my camera is where I really connect with the land. Whether I’m standing out in a biting wind chill plunging to -60°C windchils to frame the Aurora Borealis, capturing the vibrant colors of Iqaluit's houses against endless snow, or documenting the airplanes and aviation crews that serve as the literal lifeline of these isolated regions, I’m drawn to the grit, beauty, and resilience of northern life.

Over the years, this journey through the lens has led to some unforgettable moments. In 2015, one of my photos of a brilliant sun dog over Iqaluit actually ended up on a Canadian postage stamp for Canada Post’s "Weather Wonders" series. And during the quiet isolation of the 2020 pandemic, I started the Black-and-White Project, challenging myself to share a daily monochrome photo as a visual archive of our community during an unprecedented time.

My work has been featured in places like Nunatsiaq News, CBC, CTV, UpHere, Skies Magazine, Maclean's Magizine, Canadian Gergraphic and The Weather Network, but the real reward is simply sharing this world with others. The Arctic isn't just a backdrop for my photography, it’s my home.
