I love nature and telling people all about it.
I’m happiest outside and love showing others the great outdoors that is at their doorstep — and beyond — through writing, photography and teaching.
Terrific nature can be found near and far. Sure, those distant places are marvelous to visit, but I get a kick out of everything that I can see from my apartment window. And I’m really excited by the wildlife in our large cities, where people least expect.
About Me
An early birding adventure.
I’ve been interested in all sorts of critters and plants since I was a child. Over the years I’ve gained some academic and professional chops plus run a fun podcast and blog about my outdoor nature adventures whether they be small or large, near or far.
People tell me I have a knack for getting others interested in nature and communicating some technical topics. This makes me happy!
