I'm Tony, and I'm iNaturalist's Community and Support Coordinator.
If you have a technical or support question, please Submit a Support Ticket or check out forum.inaturalist.org. I want to keep support separate from this account, and email is also a much better medium for support than iNat messages.
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.
I was born and raised in Hawaii, and reside in Oakland, California. I'm a former interpretative naturalist with several organizations.
I'm into photography and do some video on the side, including most of iNat's videos. I also occasionally write for Bay Nature magazine and was interviewed for the Nature's Archive podcast.
