My passion and keenness for wildlife and the natural world has led me to work with wildlife from the Adirondacks of New York, to the plains of Nebraska, to the boreal bogs of Alaska. I settled in Arizona after working on my bachelor’s and master’s in wildlife ecology (Iowa State University and University of Arizona),

Birding throughout the US and world remains my primary passion. However, I have become focused on the Odonata over the last decade. At present, I am working on a 2-volume set of photographic books on the damselflies of Arizona dedicated strictly to identification. Volume 1 (Dancers/Argia) is 99% done and Volume 2 (all other damselflies) is 50% complete.

One other hobby is collecting bird books. My library contains over 2,500 books from around the world and in many languages. This collection has spurred me to create a website dedicated to showing samples of each book for anyone wanting to look inside before buying it unseen.
