About Me

I have been a passionate birder since I was ten years old. Ever since seeing my first Brown Creeper Certhia americana foraging on the trunk of a cottonwood Populus fremontii, I have enjoyed researching the habits, status, and distributions of birds. My current work focuses biogeography, ecology, and evolution, with a specific focus on Afrotropical montane birds. I'm an avid birder in my free time, and I enjoy hiking and traveling with my family. My work is becoming increasingly computer based, but I still do field surveys for birds and help with workshops to teach students worldwide. My field work and parallel research has predominately been concentrated in Central Africa, the western United States, and the Caribbean.
