Guide. Host. Writer.
Adventure Photographer.
Within the vast reaches of God’s wild Earth located between Kenai and Fontenelle, my heart is scattered across the hillsides and river basins. I often find myself reciting some iteration of that phrase when a conversation turns to the topic of where I’m “from.” When I tell folks that, for the most part, I split my time between Alaska & Wyoming, there’s typically a moment of pause. It’s usually amplified later in the conversation when I explain the windows of time in my typical season in which I travel internationally.
I’m Kurt and I wear a few different hats in my professional life. I maintain this rudimentary media outlet to the best of my ability and I guide year round with my partners in WYAK Outfitters, as well as filling a role as a seasonal guide for the legendary Wyoming Fishing Company.
Additionally, I own and operate Authentically Wild Photography, where I provide adventure photography services from the field. I specialize in capturing moments from my client’s outings so the memories can be immortalized through the lens and enjoyed for a lifetime.
What I do & Where I do it
Guiding/Hosting
I live for sharing moments in adventure with like-minded enthusiasts. Guiding throughout the Pacific Northwest and the western waters of the Rocky Mountain region, I have had the opportunity to meet some truly incredible people to share profound experiences with. Now, I’m partnered in outfitting operations around the globe and I aim to provide experiences for fly anglers of all skill levels, in remote theaters that facilitate truly unique adventures and lasting memories.
Writing
My store and portfolio are currently under construction however, samples of my writing can be found under the “Tall Tales” tab above. Stay tuned for more announcements, as I have many projects in the works currently.
Adventure Photography
My Nikon and I are ready to document your adventure on your behalf. Let me worry about capturing the moment; you stay in it.
Whatever your next adventure entails, I am ready to take it on and I bring along very capable hands. From trail rides and backcountry excursions, to river trips and fly-outs. I am experienced in a large array of equipment, venues and activities.
Take me along on your next hunt, fishing trip, backcountry trail ride, or hike. I’ll immortalize the adventure through the power of the lens, so that you can cherish the memories made for a lifetime.
