I'm an "enthusiastic amateur" naturalist living in LaSalle, Ontario. Professionally, I'm a Software Engineer.

In 2023, I did a "Bug Year" in 2023, trying to document 1,500 research grade Arthropod species. I was interviewed on CBC radio about this attempt: https://www.cbc.ca/listen/live-radio/1-80-afternoon-drive/clip/15991630-a-bug-year). In the end, I fell short (only 673 species), but it was an amazing journey.

There's barely a creature that won't catch my attention at time or another, but over the years, I'd say I've focused on moths, birds, fungi, snakes, dragonflies, and spiders. I do feel a beetle bug coming on, though :-)

Some projects of mine worth noting:
