Biography:

I have been working in aquatic ecology for the last decade or so; mostly dealing with benthic macroinvertebrates. However, having an inquisitive mind and some obssesive compulsions...I took to learning as much about natural history as possible. I also enjoy taking pictures. So 'da guide is a fun place for me to both share my knowledge and photography when I can and receive help when I need it.

The only picture I have been lucky enough to get published (and it was shot with a digital point and shoot!):
