My name is Clark and I am a high school student in San Diego County. I have two siblings who are currently in colleges both located in California. My father is a retired orthopedic surgeon turned medical engineer and my mom has become my personal planner and organizer. She’s also dedicated to my education as she gets up every morning at 6:30 and makes me my lunch and a peanut butter and banana sandwich for breakfast with warm mint green tea for school.

For most of my middle school and high school career I have played water polo, swum competitively, and surfed at the local beaches whenever the time is right and the surf is high. If I am not in some body of water then you can probably find me watching a movie or reading a good book, as I enjoy watching or reading a story unfold equally. I also like to spend time going to the beach with my friends just to play some beach volleyball, kayak, and in the night have big pit fires, although these activities are usually on the weekends and during long summer days.

I suppose my real interest in animals started while I was reading books on dinosaurs. Their outlandish shapes and inhuman features made these archaic beasts a hobby for me. Although I’ve since grown out of this fixation of the ancient reptiles I have now replaced them with a fascination with today’s creatures in the world. Their study and protection have become topics that I am always curious about.

I am on the Zoo InternQuest Photo Team.
