Originally from New Mexico, I'm a graduate student at Louisiana State University pursuing a master's in entomology. I am currently working on some projects in Acmaeoderini, a beautiful and diverse tribe of Jewel Beetles (Buprestidae).

While a buprestophile by trade, I'm also enamoured with several other insect groups, namely the byrrhoids and pentatomids. I also try to collect just about any beetle or bug species I encounter.
