OUR INSPIRATION:

Our inspiration and hero is our father, Jeff Swanagan, whose favorite fish was the Mandarin Goby, Hince our name and logo design.  He worked as the Director of many aquariums and zoos, and grew our love for wildlife even stronger, especially exotics.  His love and dedication was infectious.  He was a visionary leader, an inspiring teacher and friend, a wonderful loving father, and a tireless advocate for conservation and animals.  Jeff passed away too soon and suddenly in June of 2009.  We will continue his legacy.   Jeff's famous words were  "Touch the Heart, To Teach the Mind".  This quote inspires us to produce not only great, original content; but also content that is educational and meaningful.
