I have been keenly interested in nature and especially herpetology since I was a child. Spending time in nature and searching for animals in their habitats is one of my favorite things to do. I have been privileged to explore many different regions of the World, but there is still so much more to do!

I am also an Emergency Physician with a strong interest in envenomation medicine. I volunteer with the Asclepius Snakebite Foundation where we work to reduce the burden of snakebite deaths and injuries in challenged parts of the World. Please check us out at snakebitefoundation.org.
