Specialized with botany, but enthusiastic about any taxa. Most interested in Western North American flora and island ecosystems in the Pacific.
I am most involved with plants, but I am very interested in mammals, insects, fungi and all marine life.

Specific regions I am most familiar with are the Pacific northwest, Columbia plateau, Northern Great Basin, California floristic province, Wyoming Rocky Mountains, and eastern Sierra. I am a little bit familiar with the flora of east Asia, specifically central Japan, and New Zealand / Aotearoa, specifically the west Nelson and west south island botanical provinces as well. Also fond of intertidal ecosystems just about everywhere!
I love meeting other people in the botany, phycology, mycology or adjacent communities, so feel free to message me if you are nearby!

If you wish to use my photos for educational purposes, nonprofit conservation, field guides, etc. just ask and I will probably grant you permission as long as I am credited!

If I get any identifications wrong, please feel free to correct them. Sometimes locations for some of my older observations may be slightly inaccurate, as my proper camera does not have GPS capabilities, or I fail to capture the precise location, and I have had to upload the locations manually.
