I am an Environmental Scientist/Wildlife Biologist by training with a M.S. I worked for the National Park Service and Bureau of Reclamation for 12 years as a Physical Scientist, Data Manager, Wildlife Biologist, and Natural Resources Specialist. While with the NPS, I was in charge of Bird, Reptile, Amphibian, and Bighorn Sheep studies. I also collected roadkill data for all species, participating in the California Roadkill Observation System. Currently, I work for the Bureau of Land Management as an Environmental Protection Specialist.

The icon is a Great Basin Rattlesnake that was about to undergo surgical implantation of a radio-tracking device.

My bird observations are stored in eBird; sometimes I include images in iNaturalist.
