I am an avid Birder and started my own Bird Club called "Flying Solo." With a passion for the great outdoors, I have lived mostly in my home state of Pennsylvania on a farm; I also have lived in Maine and worked for L.L.Bean, and also lived in Alaska, South Carolina, and Montana. I reached my goal just this year to see all 50 states; and now have developed a strong interest in Moths! I also enjoy foraging and make homemade jam and jelly as a business named "The Purple Spoon."
