Sam’s genuine passion for nature is deeply inspiring, and has spurred people of all ages and backgrounds to pursue natural study. What a phenomenal tool iNaturalist is!! Thank you Sam!!!

"I've been using this tool for a little while." Understatement of the decade ;-) Love to see Sam featured here + the focus on connecting people and nature! Countless lives made better / interests in nature cultivated from his work.

One of my most favorite people in the world teaching people about one of my favorite things in the world! TPWD is so, so lucky to have him on their team!

Great video! I'll be saving this one as a resource to share! If anyone viewing this gets a chance to go to an event that Sam is teaching, it's totally worth it! His enthusiasm and positivity is wonderfully infectious!

Started using iNaturalist and Seek in Florida, I haven't been out to find anything new since I've been back in Texas. I love the Seek challenges. They keep my competitive side entertained.

Sam: “do you want to go look for bugs?” Me: “is that a rhetorical question?”

[@MikeQuinnEnto]

that dude’s enthusiasm is infectious!!!

[@QW-pf5lp]

This guy is amazing. Wow 👏😊

[@notreallygettingtheair]

He's actually somewhat of a legend! And apparently very humble based on how he talks about himself!
