About me
Hello, and welcome. My name is Gavin, and I'm from Minnesota, USA.
I was born here and have lived here ever since—all whopping eighteen years of my life. ☺
I work intermittently in environmental education. I am also currently an undergraduate college student
studying life science and its relationship to people. (Sometimes, I'm also even a barista.)
I have a love for nature, plants, and animals—and for as long as I can remember, this has been the case. As a small child, I would derive no greater pleasure than looking under rocks with my father to find insects, and my obsession seemed to only grow with age. At 14, I was gifted a leopard gecko (who is still with me) and was beyond ecstatic. Working in EE today is admittedly a childhood dream come true, and I'm so excited for the additional opportunities that may be revealed through time and progress.
Photography is another passion of mine. I especially love photographing animals, but recently, I've grown interested in "people"/candid photography as well. As I continue to work on this website, I plan to upload select photos to the Gallery page.
Reading, and with it, book collecting, are other things in which I find enjoyment. I do not know the number of books in my library, but I would estimate that among subjects the strongest are natural sciences, history, and foreign languages.
Lastly, I have also always enjoyed learning
different languages. I have devoted many hours to Spanish and American Sign Language, and have enjoyed my time
making progress in Italian, French, and Latin. In 2024, I was honored to receive the Minnesota Gold Bilingual Seal in Spanish.
What is this website?
Originally known as Gathering Stardust, Falco Albo is a place for me to share myself with the void.
There are are no promotions for this place; as far as most people would be concerned, it doesn't exist. There are no methods of tracking, no passwords, and no likes.
Economically, it runs at a small loss. But it is mine, and mine alone.
Any views given here are of my own opinion, not necessarily those of any employer, school, organization, or any other entity.
The name Falco Albo approximately means "white falcon" in Latin. Why that? Well, that's loosely where the
name Gavin comes from.
(Falco Albo is not a binomial scientific name and
is not to be confused with the genus Falco or any of its species.)
