Community scientist and park ranger. I focus primarily on galling organisms and am one of the admins of gallformers.org.

I collect specimens when permissible, so if you see something that would be useful to your lab/research please reach out! I have lots of parasitic wasps that come from rearing galls that I would like to connect with a lab. Many of which are from midge (Cecidomyiidae) induced galls that are currently undescribed with no previous record in the literature and will likely reveal new relationships if not new undescribed species!

Regions I have hands on experience in include AK, AZ, CO, TX, UT.
