In 2017, an aggressive need for post-college independence and adventure drove me to take a job in Moab, Utah, fleeing my home state of Pennsylvania (go birds!). I packed up my camping gear and work pants and spent a year cutting down tamarisk and learning how to cook over a two-burner Coleman stove.
In the decade since, I’ve traveled the country working where most people vacation, and vacationing where most people don’t go. And in 2024, the Murray Family (Inc.) was formally established when I was rescued by a spicy lab-collie toddler named Sunny.
During the week, I work in recreation with a side of cartography. When Friday rolls around, I’m off to hit the trails, river, and cliffs. Explore my portfolio to see samples of my work, photography from travels, and stories from my field journals because sometimes, things get weird out in the wilderness.
