About Rick

I am a writer, photographer, speaker and naturalist based in Texas. I write about science, the natural world and people's connections to nature in urban environments.

I have multiple interests and competencies in diverse areas of science, including biology, natural history, and medical and health science. I am adept at conducting internet-based research along with direct queries to topical experts for expert opinion and the latest insights and information to write informative and engaging articles, stories and web content.
