OOPS! Page Broken – We’re Working On It!

I’m a proud East Texas native who once took the scenic route all the way from the Atlantic to the Pacific—just to realize the Piney Woods had my heart all along.

Since planting my boots firmly back in East Texas in 2014, I’ve put my biology chops to work as a Texas Master Naturalist and served for three years as the Trip Director for Tyler Audubon. On any given day, you’ll likely find me knee-deep in swamp muck to snap the perfect nature shot or waxing poetic about bird migrations to anyone who’ll listen. And yes, I’ve probably tripped over a root or two in pursuit of the perfect photo, but that just keeps my sense of humor nicely honed.

As an author, photographer, and lifelong naturalist, I believe in illuminating the wonders of wildlife and wild places so we can all appreciate—and protect—the world outside our windows. Let’s just say my mission is to persuade even the most confirmed couch potatoes to fall in love with nature. After all, if I can find excitement in sifting through leaf litter for beetles, you can too…although I’ll admit my family sometimes thinks I’ve gone a little nuts. It’s all part of the adventure, right?
