About Me

I have had a passion for birds since I was ten years old. Ever since seeing my first Brown Creeper Certhia americana foraging on the trunk of a cottonwood, I have enjoyed researching the habits, status, and distributions of birds. My current work focuses biogeography and evolution in Afrotropical montane birds, but I still maintain a healthy "hobby" of working on ecological research. I focus primarily on birds, and frequently travel on both field expeditions and self-funded "vacations" studying some of the rarest birds on earth.

My field work has predominately been concentrated in the western United States, Central Africa, and the Caribbean.
