I am here for Friends

About Me

I tend to move around a lot. I grew up in Missouri and skipped around from coast to coast and a couple different countries for school and cool research experiences. I study seals and sea lions and their physiology and ecology. I am starting a PhD this year. I am aggressively independent. Domesticity scares me and I can be a little bit dramatic. It makes me sad that I live far away from all my friends.

Homeless no more

I finally have a home!!!!!!  Yep, I signed a year lease in Santa Cruz.  Crazy, I know.  But, I'm damn tired of moving every 3 months, so I'm really excited to be moving in.  I have...

Fort Bragg is weird

Fort Bragg is a little weird.  It's a cute little touristy town, or at least it's trying really hard.  It's got this kinda industrial flavor, coming from the fishing industry and the remnant...

i'm in love with this radio station

This is the best radio station ever.  It's out of Denver and I love it so much I might almost consider staying here for it, but since they stream on the web, i don't have to.  So, I am sprea...

more pictures

Unfortunately I can't post a lot of pictures of seal research in action.  Too many hurdles with permits and animal rights and all that shit, posting on the internet probably isn't the best idea.&...
