At age 10, I wrote down my life goals for an assignment: own a dolphin, fly a plane, visit a rainforest, write a book.

At 14, I won a baby bottlenose dolphin in a contest, her name was Tina, she lived at an oceanarium.

At 34, I got my pilot's license, won an airplane and went on to become a flight instructor. I used that plane to fly scientists over the Pacific Northwest rainforests for the next 10 years.

My book was published in 2008, and I'm working on an expanded revised edition.
