He has travelled the world as a professional photographer and has worked for many prestigious clients, including Patagonia, BMW, Red Bull, VISA, the International Olympic Committee, \u003ci\u003eSports Illustrated\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eGEO\u003c\/i\u003e magazine. He lived and worked as a professional photographer in Chamonix for over a decade and has climbed, skied and flown all over the Mont Blanc massif - \u003ci\u003eMont Blanc Lines\u003c\/i\u003e is the culmination of this work. He now lives in Canmore, Alberta, in the heart of the Canadian Rockies, with his wife and two children, but misses Chamonix too much to stay away for long, frequently travelling back to the French Alps.
