I am a retied Scuba Instructor who moved from Wisconsin to Oregon in 2017. I've always had an interest in the outdoor world, and being a scuba diver, I automatically had an interest in the underwater world. I taught a course in Underwater Naturalist, and had a lot of fun introducing new divers to the wonders under the waves.

I currently volunteer with a number of organizations in the area, including Friends of the Gorge and Trail Keepers of Oregon, and The Nature Conservancy.

I'm a Wasco County Master Gardener, and a Columbia Gorge Master Naturalist.
