About Me | After graduating, I went to Dutch Harbor, Alaska where Chris Mendoza and I worked offloading crab boats. That experience convinced me there had to be an easier way to make a living. I returned to Boise, where Terry Currie suggested that we enroll at BSU. Since I had enjoyed watching Jacque Cousteau, Jane Goodall and national geographic specials on PBS, I pursued a degree in Biology and ultimately became obsessed with marine invertebrates. So, it was off to Western Washington University to study sea anemones and get an MS. Unfortunately, there weren't a lot of jobs where an expertise in sea anemone biology is all that important so I began what was initially adjunct but what has become full-time teaching at community colleges and universities. Teaching, particularly as an adjunct, doesn't always pay a lot, so I've done a variety of other things to pay the bills along the way including commercial fishing, oyster farming, and working in industrial and research labs.

Channeling Jane Goodall, I am currently pursuing a PhD in Anthropology at the University of Utah. I just started a sabbatical leave and hope to make significant progress so that I can finish college before I retire.
