Mark Khosravi – my high school environmental science teacher, and one of my greatest mentors. I still remember meeting you before I even took your class – I happened to notice the latest issue of Reptiles Magazine sitting in your classroom after the science fair, and I had the same one in my backpack! Thanks all for the awesome adventures, and for sharing your knowledge with me to make me a better naturalist and a better person. You should be extremely proud of how you do your job, and I am proud to be your student. If we had more teachers like you, the world would be twice as green.

If you’re ever in Texas, I owe you some sweet herping opportunities for all the ones you showed me!
