I'm a father of 2 great kids that I hope will find as much enjoyment planting trees and noticing all that routinely is not noticed as I do. I am fortunate enough to have a charming spouse who tolerates most of my idiosyncrasies when it comes to spending hours of family time converting lawn to pollinator gardens. I've been working as a veterinarian for almost 30 years and still look forward to going to "practice" my craft most days. In summary, a generally lucky guy who finds solace in nature.
