I'm a jack of all trades, master of none; view my IDs as nothing more than suggestions and please correct me and share any ID tips/notes. Fondness for beetles.

Forest technician (education and former employment), Natural Resource technician (formerly with a National Park) , Forest insect and disease technician/entomologist (current employment). I have also worked a variety of other forestry related jobs including at a tree and shrub nursery in Ontario, a brief stint as a National Park interpreter (not my cup of tea), and as a MFTIP (Managed Forest Tax Incentive Plan) approver - if you live in Ontario and have forested land, this is a worthwhile program to check out:

English is my first language.
Je parle aussi le français (Québecois).
Ich kann auch ein bisschen Deutsch.
I've also dabbled in Swedish, Dutch and Bokmål, but far from being able to carry on a conversation.
