Born and raised in Anchorage, I've been lucky to have been able to share my life in one way or another with birds. I spent my college days at Washington State University where I received my Bachelor of Science. Being passionate about the plight of companion parrots, I started the Anchorage chapter of Parrot Education & Adoption Center ( PEAC ) in June 2002. In 2005 I joined the organization International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants, and in 2006 I obtained Certified status as a Parrot Behavior Consultant. When not on parrot duty, I work as an IT administrator and paralegal for a local law firm.

I owe many thanks to fellow smugmugger John Gomes - for camera/lens advice, photography tips and inspiration, and so much more. Please stop by and check out John's photos (it's definitely worth your time!)

Any skill I seem to develop over the years is likely the result of taking classes from Johnathon Green of Starlight Studio in Anchorage. Whether you're looking to learn some basic skills in photography or Photoshop, or want more advanced instruction, Johnathon likely has a class for you! Check out his site here - you won't be sorry!!
