Biography: I am an amateur wildlife and nature photographer based in the San Francisco Bay Area in California. I spend most of my free time traveling the world looking for novel wildlife subjects. I work professionally as a wildlife biologist and conservationist, donating time, money, and photographs to raise awareness and support the conservation of endangered species and habitats.
