I love the outdoors especially exploring natural environments; including identifying botanicals and wildlife. Whether I am hiking with my wife and dogs (Avery the Airedale terrier and Beau-Beau the Yorkshire terrier), playing in the dirt in my organic garden (filled with spinach, romaine lettuce, broccoli, various legumes, and of course multiple tomato varieties), or zooming down single-track trails on my mountain bike, there is no place I’d rather be than in nature.
