I grew up in Massachusetts and started birding when I was in high school in the mid-1980's. Since graduating from college, I've been fortunate enough to have lived in a few different places, including California, Taiwan, and Singapore. Since moving back to Massachusetts, I've also been fortunate that my job entails a decent amount of travel to Central and South America, all of which has afforded me some nice opportunities for birding.

Starting around 2010, I started branching out to look at plants and other animals. In particular, I have tried to learn about dragonflies, damselflies and butterflies. I particularly enjoy my summer vacations to Taiwan where I can spend time photographing the odes and leps that come to my in-laws yard. In the last few years, I've become particularly interested in learning more about plants. I suppose I have a broad interest in plants, but I find myself particularly attracted to violets, goldenrods and shrubs.
