I'm Steve Leatherman. I'm a retired software engineer from a #Chicago area research laboratory. I'm married with three teenaged girls. We live in central #Illinois.

I enjoy #hiking, #backpacking, #wilderness, #trees, #mountains, #nature and #wildlife. I like #photography and #archaeology. I Make #bread at least once weekly. I have lots of #cats.

I volunteer annually for an #ecology research project on #IsleRoyale - collecting #moose bones and sometimes #wolf bones.
