I live along the North coast of California deep in the heart of the Redwood forest. I live on two acres of Redwoods my dog and about 50 chickens.

I moved to the North Coast to attend Humboldt State University in 1989, where I earned my BS degree in Environmental Biology. I have done many field studies working with Red-Legged Frogs as well as field work with the Northern Spotted Owl. Though my education is in Biology, I make a living in the retail market. I operate a full line pet supply store that does both internet sales and in-store sales.

I started raising and showing poultry as a kid, and started again as an adult in 2006. I have kept many breeds of poultry and waterfowl over the years but my main poultry interest is raising and showing Golden Sebrights. This is one of the breeds I had as a kid so many years ago. So it only seemed natural for me to get back into raising them. My foundation Sebrights are direct from Mr. Sebright himself, Jerry Bonds.

When not working, or doing the chicken thing the majority of my time is spent hunting with and training birds of prey. I have been a licensed falconer since 1983 and currently maintain my Master Level Falconers license. I have flown many species over the years, including Peregrine Falcons, Red Tailed Hawks, Cooper’s Hawks, Sharp-Shins, Harris’ Hawks, Merlins and Prairie Falcons.
