"I was fortunate enough to grow up in Rockport, Texas amongst a community of enthusiastic birders and naturalists. After graduating from the University of Texas at Austin, I slowly studied birds on my own. It wasn't until I moved to Philadelphia that I got serious. I met other birders who not only have an interest in birding, but are also interested in sharing their acute knowledge of birds. With these friends, I almost feel at home. I plan to continue my independent studies in ornithology and hope to some day offer my own observations to future conservationists and birders alike."
