I will have limited internet availability from March 28 - April 2, 2026. If you have an urgent moderation or safety issue, please don’t @-mention me, please submit a support ticket and an iNat staff member will see it.

I’m Tony, and I’m iNaturalist’s Director of Community Support.

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.
