BIO

I’ve always loved the outdoors and the quiet beauty of nature. My interest in birds began while I was working as a PGA professional at Bulls Bay Golf Club, when I noticed a small heron fishing along a pond. Curious to learn more, I used the Merlin Bird ID app and discovered it was a Green Heron. That moment sparked something in me—a fascination that quickly grew into a lifelong passion for birds and the natural world.

 

As I began logging my sightings in eBird, I discovered an amazing community of birders, from beginners to experts, all sharing the same joy of discovery. Birding soon became a part of my daily life and inspired me to explore Charleston’s parks, wetlands, and coastal habitats, seeing the Lowcountry through new eyes.

 

There’s a real peace and happiness that comes from watching birds in their element. Holy City Birding was born from that feeling—and from a desire to share it with others. Whether leading tours, working with kids, or introducing others to birding, my goal is to inspire curiosity, wonder, and appreciation for the world around us.

​

Happy Birding!
