Adventures in nature, music, and robots

I'm a naturalist. I manage an old growth forest. I like mountains. I used to play bassI have an awesome dog and even awesomer wife and a most excellent baby. I travel the desert, mountains, coast, temperate rainforests, chapparral, monadocks, and even cities when I can. I won't let those robots defeat me (or you). I like non-profits. I LOVE chocolate. I like doing nerdy stuff like measuring trees. This is an account of my adventures in these likes (and dislikes).

3rd wedding anniversary- BIG SUR!

Big Sur Coast, California

Treebones Resort

Redwoods

Cone Peak

This is the 2nd highest peak in the Ventana Wilderness/Santa Lucia mountain range. Up on top I saw Santa Lucia fir trees which are endemic to the area.

Solstice Canyon, Santa Monica Mountains National Park; Malibu, CA

Many of my plants from the 2003-2005 EcoHelpers restoration project have survived recent fires and are thriving- even outcompeting some of the invasive species like Euphorbia and Brassica!
