I take my job with my animals seriously and it comes first before most things in my life. I am inspired by the relationship between human and animal. Canines (especially wolves) have always been my passion. As a kid I was training and showing dogs; where I was able to learn the importance of proper animal handling and husbandry. Always a creative person, I picked up my first camera at 13 and embarked on an amazing journey. I owe so much to my trusty shepherd mix Zero who served as a patient model while I honed my craft. In 2010, I graduated from CCAD with a BFA in Photography. I also own and operate my ambassador program, Ohio Canid Center. Along with featuring my animals in creative collaborations, I take them to public venues and educate others on the importance of wolves (and all wild canids) in the ecosystem.
William Wegman has his weimaraners, and I have my wolfdogs. My hope is that my art and my educational program will inspire people to love and respect wolves and all aspects of nature.
