ABOUT ME

ECOTOURISM & ECOLOGY CONSULTING + GUIDING + PHOTOGRAPHY + WEBSITE CONSTRUCTION
BASED IN MADAGASCAR / USA
I'm a passionate birder, field naturalist, and world traveller, and a trained biologist. I have worked for over 10 years as a guide for Tropical Birding. At the same time, I have co-authored many natural history books, which are shown below. I work as a consultant for Promised Land Ventures. For more on consulting services or Madagascar tours, click on the logos below to check out our websites. For website construction, check out this page.
Born in the US, I first travelled and worked extensively in the western hemisphere and Europe, before moving to Africa, where I lived for 15 years, primarily in Madagascar. I am currently based in Pennsylvania, in the northeastern United States.
