California Naturalist and Catalina Island Naturalist. Lifelong lover of all things in nature, whether it is scuba diving in the ocean, hiking in the mountains, or just exploring locally. I'm an avid iNat fan and happily wax poetic about it to anyone willing to listen.

Newsletter Editor for Jumpstart Nature (https://jumpstartnature.com), a new, innovative environmental effort aimed at catalyzing and empowering people to make a difference. Please follow and listen to our Jumpstart Nature podcast as well as our sister podcast, Nature's Archive: https://podcast.naturesarchive.com

Ask me about MPA Watch, Heal the Bay, and the Heal the Bay Aquarium (under the Santa Monica Pier); stop by and say hello at the NPS King Gillette Visitor Center (where I volunteer); and, let's hike, explore tide pools, work on a nature journal, and/or bioblitz!

Yes, when I'm sure about the CV suggestion, I click it since that is much faster than typing in the name.
