Software engineer by trade, and a longtime outdoors enthusiast, in 2004 I started uploading pictures taken around Las Vegas to Wikipedia. At first just including desert plants because articles were lacking photos, I came to be fascinated by the wealth of color and form. In turn, that developed into wanting to personally see all the taxa known in an area, so nowadays I'm crashing through central Florida brush looking for the rare and unusual.

In addition to adding new finds, I am also upgrading my thousands of old Wikipedia photos into iNat observations.
