Biography:

I recently earned a B.S. in Fish & Wildlife Conservation & Management and I am currently seeking a full-time job in some aspect of that field. I've been addicted to the outdoors and all things contained throughout since my early childhood. My main interests are Odonates and freshwater mussels. In 2006 I captured several individuals of what might end up being a new dragonfly species in the Macromia genus. I just recently got my first good camera for a graduation gift, and I've been using it quite frequently.

My set-up is a Nikon D70s using a Tamron F/2.8 90mm Macro for all my close-up work.
