Biography:

In December of 2005, I graduated from Southeastern University in Lakeland, Florida. It was there that I became interested both in birds and in bugs. My homepage displays bird and flower photographs that I took while living in Oregon. My second webpage displays bird, flower, and butterfly photographs that I took while I was in Costa Rica for vacation. I am currently living in Japan, which is why I haven't contributed to Bugguide in a while.
