He is a photographer, videographer, writer, exhibit developer, naturalist guide, and Part 107 commercially licensed drone pilot with a dual master’s degree in Natural Science Education and Environment & Natural Resources from University of Wyoming.

Twolined Studio is the home of the Northern Peatlands Project, a photographic journey through one of the rarest ecosystems on Earth.

As an expedition leader, Charlie is driven by a desire to ignite curious minds.

In the winter, he guides trips to visit the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve in Michoacán, Mexico, where more than 250 million monarch butterflies overwinter in the high elevation oyamel fir forest.
