DAN CLEMENTS

PHOTOGRAPHER | PUBLISHER | ADVENTURER

Let me first thank Arc’teryx, G3, and Arva for outstanding products. Arc’teryx for clothing and protection that has kept me comfortable in all manner of extreme conditions. G3 for amazing backcountry skis and superbly engineered AT bindings. Arva for backcountry back designed to easily access emergency rescue gear. Thank you all!

Background

Dan is an adventurer who has a deep appreciation and respect for the world’s natural wonders and life in its many varied forms.

After a successful 30 year career in public finance, he is working to help develop a greater appreciation of our natural environments through photography, publishing, and travel.

When he is not photographing he enjoys back country skiing, distance running, mountain biking, and opera. Everett, Washington is base, and where he and his wife raised two sons.

He holds an MBA in international finance and has sat on boards of a number of corporations and non-profits, including Ibis Publishing, Cayenta Software Systems, United Way of Snohomish County and Housing Hope. Additionally, he is an active supporter of Northwest Nature & Wildlife Photographers, and co-founder of Pacific Northwest Underwater Photographic Society.
