I have always loved nature and wildlife
and I particularly enjoy having the opportunity to encourage
others to get outside, take a closer look at the wonders
around them and then learn how to Take Care of Their
Share of the planet.
My motto: "I don't just hug trees.
I fondle flowers, caress critters and play in the dirt!"
Costs and Services
I write for many reasons: to inspire, to encourage,
to enlighten, to influence and to earn income. The amount
that I charge for my services often depends on how well
an assignment will allow me to achieve a combination
of those things.
Although I have the experience and skills
to cover almost any topic, I prefer to accept assignments
that will allow me to make a positive difference in
the world.
Background
Prior to dedicating my time to freelance writing and
photography, my work background included ten years working
at a public library, which provided me invaluable research
skills; and ten+ years in the computer support department
of a large local electronics firm, which helped improve
both my people and problem solving skills.
I have also attended the Master Gardener training and
I am a trained National Wildlife Federation Habitat
Steward.
Other projects
I maintain several websites to try to help educate
and encourage others to appreciate and protect
the natural world around them. Two of the most
popular of those sites are Project
Backyard Brevard, which was created to help
preserve the beauty of the county in which I live,
and Take
Care of Your Share, which was created to help
preserve the beauty of the rest of the world.
Please contact me to discuss how I can help your
publication or organization in promoting the appreciation
of nature. For your immediate needs, I have photographs
and articles on many topics. Or I will be happy
to create something for your specific needs.
