Hello all and thanks for reading a little about me. My name is Ben Crawford, and I live in Richmond, Indiana. I am a 25 year old chemistry/physics/earth space science teacher at a small town high school. I have been fascinated in falconry and raptors for a long time. Now that I am not working and going to school, I have enough time to pursue this fantastic sport. I have been studying for a while now and will be taking the test soon. I just went to an apprentice class and was ecstatic to have this opportunity to learn from many great falconers.

Thanks to everyone who make this forum so great!!
