I have an MS in Computer Science and have worked in the area of Technology Consulting for 17+ years. My clients cover the spectrum of Fortune 100 to mid-size companies. I discovered the World of Nature a few years ago when everything else started to bore me. My passion is channeled into the MushroomHobby.com site, which is dedicated to the iconography and study of mushrooms. Currently the site features nearly 900 species, but this number will soon grow above 1000. My primary area of foraging is Northern Calfiornia, but I do a lot of educated collecting in Eastern North America and Europe.
