Science teacher, and amateur naturalist. I studied outdoor recreation, environmental interpretation, and biology in university. I also participate in volunteer science such as bird banding, habitat restoration and management, invasive species removal, macro invertebrate stream indexing, and water quality testing. Organizations and agencies I've worked with include USFS, USFWS, Army CoE, GA DNR, SC DNR, PANO Banding Station, Whigg Meadow Banding Station, Jekyll Island Banding Station, Chattooga Conservancy, Tugaloo Bend Heritage Site, Georgia Plant Conservation Alliance, Georgia Botanical Society, Adventure Scientists, SC Adopt-a-Stream, and the Xerces Society. Botany, ornithology, and entomology are my big fields of interest. I am also interested in herpetology, but my knowledge is lacking. In botany I am particularly interested in disjunct, rare, and endemic plants.
