I started using iNaturalist in 2011 and my profile picture has not changed since. I have lived around Cleveland, OH, USA my entire life. I travel as much as I can and prefer to camp when I can on trips. I like road trips because you get to travel places you normally wouldn’t stop at if you flew somewhere.

I am a birder and have extensive records on eBird but also include my bird observations with photos here. I enjoy all forms of life, not just birds though. My photographs are for documentation purposes, and I prefer looking for more things over getting a perfect shot.

Some of my favorite things to find are cicadas and salamanders. I also like beetles, in particular scarabs and tiger beetles. I am also fascinated by things with small ranges or unique adaptations.
