I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, professionally serving as an Internal Medicine/Oncology Veterinary Technician in The Peninsula. For the past 9 years, I have been a volunteer Wildlife Rehabilitator for Marine Mammals at The Marine Mammal Center in Sausalito,CA.

I'm someone who gives without any guarantee of profit, who lets go of ownership and believes the world owns my creation. I hope to contribute to the world in a small way, and if others benefit from this contribution, that's a good thing. And if others use his contribution to create something new and beautiful, that's a wonderful thing.



"We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. Remote from universal nature, and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth."
