I'm a native Oregonian who lives in the Coast Range of the Pacific Northwest. I've lived here all my life but have had the opportunity to travel to various other states and the countries of Mexico and Canada. I consider myself a technologist having worked in various fields of technology support over the years. I enjoy participating in citizen science activities and contributing to open-source projects and databases. I also enjoy exploring and experiencing nature. I hope that my contributions will be beneficial and welcome any constructive criticism or feedback.
