I am a technical project manager with 19 years of experience in the IT field. I also am a mediator by training and do volunteer community mediation to support connection between community members.

I also have just over 10 years of experience as a keeper and trainer with large wild felids and am something of a subject matter expert in this area. I have lead thousands of education programs about endangered cats for schools and the public and have specific and detailed knowledge in the areas of tigers and African servals, which were a specialty area of mine. I also deal with special needs domestic animals from time to time and have minor amounts of veterinary training in the area of restoring such animals to health.
