I like birds and try to take pictures of them whenever I can. I have been an outdoor educator since 2006 which is right around the time I started birding. In May of 2013, I graduated from Longwood University with a degree in Biology, concentrating in Ecology and Evolution. I have been working in Virginia State Parks since 2012; I am currently the Park Naturalist at Holliday Lake State Park in Appomattox County, Virginia.

Since 2008 I took most of my picture with a small Sony DSC-H10 Cybershot. I now use my Sony DSC-HX300 Cybershot that I acquired in December of 2014.
