David Lee (aka DJ) finds pure joy in nature—running through open land, laughing as animals follow along, and getting his hands in the soil while we water plants and watch them grow. He loves feeding goats, spotting new life, and feeling free under the open sky. For him, nature isn’t just a place—it’s an adventure, a classroom, and his favorite playground all in one.
David Lee’s favorite animal is a capybara, which honestly I didn’t even know existed until him—he’s always teaching me the most interesting facts. To him, capybaras are the coolest because they’re calm, friendly, and get along with so many other animals, which he loves. Last Christmas, when we went to Tractor Supply, he spotted a stuffed one and had to have it. It’s now one of his favorites, just like the real thing.
David loves spending his days outdoors exploring everything around him. His favorite activities are connecting with creatures. He is so enthusiastic about teaching and learning, loves spending his days outdoors exploring everything around him. His other favorite activities are climbing bedrocks and helping water our plants and trees. He enjoys getting dirty in the garden, discovering new bugs and animals, and just running free across the land, turning every day outside into a fun adventure.
