About Me

Drawn to the water's edge

I'm a naturalist and photographer with a focus on California's intertidal ecosystems. My iNaturalist profile documents thousands of species observations across rocky shores, kelp forests, and sandy beaches.

When I'm not in the field, I build open-source tools that help other naturalists document, map, and manage their observations.
