I’m Tony, and I’m iNaturalist’s Outreach and Community Coordinator.

As of April, 2025, Observation of the Day duties now belong to my colleague @seastarya! If you come across a cool observation you think should be featured, please message her.

If you have a technical or support question, please submit a support ticket or post here in the Forum.

I was born and raised in Hawaii, reside in Oakland, California, and am a photographer and do some video on the side, including most of iNat’s videos before April, 2025.

Note: my “liking” a post doesn’t necessarily mean I endorse or agree with it. I often “like” posts when I think they are honest, open, and improve the conversation.
