Whales, dolphins & aerial imaging

Field biology with Cascadia Research Collective: small boats, photo-ID and drones on Hawaiian whales and dolphins.

I worked as a field biologist with Cascadia Research Collective on Hawaiian whales and dolphins: small boats, photo-ID, drones, and the quiet species most people never see.

I’m an FAA-certified Part 107 remote pilot, cameraman and field biologist. My drone work on whales in Hawaiʻi was featured by TIME in 2018.
