Mike O'Brochta:

"I am a lifelong hiker, backpacker, mountain climber, and birder who enjoys the intersection of my photography and woodworking avocations."

"My photographs are printed on metallized paper and mounted in custom arts and crafts style frames that I make in my woodshop."

"I spent a career as a engineering project manager employee at the CIA and very much value initiative, innovation, and thought leadership."

"I have climbed, trekked, and photographed in North America, South America, and Europe; seacoasts and mountains are special places for me. My home is in the small city of Roanoke in the beautiful Appalachian mountains of southwestern Virginia."
