Cats rule, dogs drool! ;) Tiger, geologist, ice hockey player, hiker, & volunteer at an animal shelter. Single, but haven't really been looking. PG-13 sometimes.

I met Eric “Snap” Stevens 14 years ago. More than just my fursuit maker, he was my friend. Snap has been very friendly, hilarious, thoughtful, & so much more. His passing has left a void, not only in the community, but in the world. He is irreplaceable & is dearly missed. *Raises glass*

Not gonna lie, this is tough. The 18.5-year journey we shared – From the streets, to the shelter, and finally to my home and to my heart – was the greatest gift. So many cherished memories. To the world, you were just a cat… But to me, you were everything. 🐾 Dag 🐾: April 17, 2007 – November 17, 2025

Finished my last day of vacay in Theodore Roosevelt National Park, and went to the highest point in North Dakota. I even found a danger noodle. I was going to pet him, but he rattled his tail and kindly said "no thank you, sir." Waiting for my flight to get back to the real world and work tomorrow.

Furthest I've been from my current home (DFW, Texas): N - Edmonton, Canada (2019) S - Ajijic, Mexico (2023) E - Copenhagen, Denmark (2005) W - West Maui Forest Preserve, Hawaii (2014) Hopefully, I can expand on some of those directions in the near future. I'm down for more adventures. :3

Furthest I’ve been from home: (Seattle, 47.60°N, 122.33°W) N - Skagway, Alaska, USA (59.46°N) S - Johannesburg, South Africa (26.20°S) E - Nairobi, Kenya (36.82°E) W - Beijing, China (116.41°E) More well-traveled than I thought 😲😲😲

Even though it was a partial day in Yosemite, I still got nearly 20k steps, and I saw a bear cub two separate times in different parts in the Park! I did not spot momma bears before the cubs ran off. The last photo is the only natural arch in Yosemite.

Today was my last full day in Yosemite National Park, and the views and sights still feel like a dream. The 40.7k steps that I got today feel very real, though, haha. I might have gotten near the edge of the cliff in the third photo. >.>

Really pushed myself and was happy to complete a 14.8-mile roundtrip hike with over a 3,100 foot elevation gain to finish at higher elevation than Half Dome. The view was totally worth it, and the photo doesn't do it justice. Got over 48.5k steps today, the most per day this trip. :3
