Joe is a gifted artist and photographer with many years of experience as a leader among his peers. In 2007, Joe was honored with a special performance by the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square.

After having earned the rank of Eagle Scout, he went on to serve as a presenter at two National Down Syndrome Congress conventions. He now lives with family on a small ranch in northwestern U.S. where he pursues his interests of art, photography and animal husbandry.

Joe’s personally selected text from New York Times bestseller The Hidden Life of Trees: The Illustrated Edition, by famed author and German forester, Peter Wohlleben, along with field work observations of Victorian botanist, G. F. Scott Elliot’s 1907 classic, The Romance of Plant Life, provide an ideal frame of reference for Joe’s magnificently joyful photographs.

His brilliant photographic eye and favorite quotations draw his readers into a calm tranquility. Unique images of trees, rocks, moss, creeks and stumps are somehow perfectly imperfect.
Sit down for a few minutes to relax and spend time in Joe’s world of nature.

You’ll absolutely love it!
