Naturalist educator by career, I have made my life's goal of educating the general public regarding our natural resources.

Herpetology is my passion, and the natural history behind reptiles and amphibians are of great interest to me. Seeing the animals, where they live, how they live, etc. is living discovery to me.

Although herpetology is at the forefront, other areas of interest to me is ornithology, ichthyology, dendrology, entomology, etc. As a naturalist I consider myself a generalist and always looking to expand my knowledge of nature as a whole.

In my personal time I am reptile keeper, breeder and field herper by hobby.
