Marine mammal biologist at National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Professional Track & Sign Certification, Ventura / Cuyama CA via Tracker Certification North America.

My interests include wildlife tracking, birding, insect identification, fishing, locating obscure desert springs, and backpacking.

If you want to learn more about the natural world, I encourage you to get into tracking and accelerate your learning process with a local tracking group and eventually a quantitative evaluation with http://trackercertification.com
