I milk a cow practically every morning, along with other exciting barn chores. I have a ridiculous number of chickens and want more- it's like an addiction.

I think I have The Best Job Ever and still can't believe I get paid to do something I enjoy so much.

I've volunteered for a wildlife rehab center that specializes in raptors since I was 17. It has enriched my life in ways I never knew were possible.

My camera is pretty much in my pocket all the time and I can entertain myself for hours harassing my livestock or stalking unsuspecting wildlife with it.

I spend my time working, cleaning up endless piles of manure, hanging with my raptors, doing nerdy biologist things like reading journal articles for fun, hiking with my dog, napping, pretending to be a viking in my head, eating cheese, blasting bagpipe music in my car, taking pictures, and plotting.
