Recent Work: Traverse magazine, "flow", Copper Harbor mountain biking feature

Over the course of 2011 I had the pleasure of spending nearly two weeks in the Copper Harbor area up at the tippity top of the Keweenaw Peninsula working on a couple of articles and a variety of shoots, some personal and some for clients.

During this time I hooked up with Sam Raymond and the crew of Keweenaw Adventure Company and Aaron Rogers and the crew from the Copper Harbor Trails Club to ride some of the new trails they've been building and the world has been loving over the past few years. Wow.

This article ensued.

You can read it on mynorth.com, the website of Traverse, Northern Michigan's magazine. Enjoy the article, enjoy riding in The Harbor and enjoy the fact that good things come to people who bust their butts making them happen.

Noquemanon Trails Network

I had the pleasure of attending the Noquemanon Trails Network's annual fundraiser, the Snowball, this past Friday evening. What a hoot. Good food, great people and a fine cause.

The NTN is a non-profit umbrella trails group for most of the mountain biking and skiing trails in the Marquette, Michigan region. The same trails where great events like the Noquemanon Ski Marathon  and Superior Bike Fest are held. The trails that make the Marquette region such a great place to live and play.

I was proud to support NTN at the snowball this year with a donation of a 20x30 canvas gallery wrap. The print was auctioned off live and brought in $350 for the Noquemanon Trails. There's some gas in the groomer, and I'm glad to help.

See you on the trails.
