I will be in Phoenix, AZ from Sept 15-20 for the ASTC and will be slow to reply to @-mentions or emails. If you’re going to be there as well, let me know!

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.
