Communication First off if you are here because you would like to reach me the best method is to use skype or email me. If you reach me at my email address I will get the message fast due to my OCD tendencies towards checking my it. My Skype address is IvanTortuga My email is chough@nmu.edu About me I live in currently live in Marquette, Michigan I was born in Phoenix, Arizona I am currently a senior at Northern Michigan University and will be graduating in December 2012. My major is History and I have three minors which include English, Biology and Philosophy. Before becoming a history major I was majoring in zoology for two years. Prior to attending Northern Michigan Uni. I attended the Community College for Kalamazoo Valley where I took just three classes (one semester) before transfering. While in high school I took on a variety of course subjects much like I do now in college, including everything from theatre to IB 20th century history. I attended Portage Northern High School and graduated in May 2008. Organizations play a large factor in my academic success. I am currently the Vice-President, Photography Chairman and Co-treasurer of The Wildlife Society chapter at Northern Michigan Uni. I also am a member of the Aquatic Biologicaly Society, Pre-Med Club, Pre-Vet Club, Intervarsity Christian Fellowship, and Norwood Apartments Community Club. Off campus organizations also peak my interest and I am involved in the Sierra Club and the World Wide Fund for Nature. During high school I was the president of the Portage Northern Environmental club and also attended meetings for the Philosophy club and play a large part in our schools Science Olympiad team. Oddly enough I have not had a stable job yet, as most people my age can probably say due to current economic hardships. Yet I have worked for various small companies and myself. I have previously worked for the Knowledge Generation Bureau and ChaCha both of which have no where near enough pay for the amount of work they put on their workers. Besides that I have worked as a research assistant here at Northern Michigan Uni. for a short period identifying aquatic invertebrates. I also own my own photography business and I have been published in around 18 various magazines, books and internet sources (not including areas I've donated images too).

For IvanTortuga who has contributed greatly to Wikiproject Lepidoptera, especially the grunt work. -- AshLin 09:39, 25 August 2009 (UTC) I like the summer because that means that I can go out to the local park, whether it be Al Sabo Preserve or Fort Custer Recreation Area. I was the leader of my high school's environmental club and I love helping the environment in any way I can; recycling, getting the word out, trying to get others to do the same and the list goes on. My Canon EOS 400D is basically my child and I get out to take pictures whenever and I mean whenever I can. Even though I want to help the environment as much possible it doesn't quite stop me from wanting to get out and see things, I don't drive within town often if ever but I often see myself driving an hour or so out to places like Warren Dunes State Park and Van Buren State Park. I recently started learning to play the didgeridoo and have achieved the "didj" noise.
