A bit more about me

Field Research

I have studied aquatic plants, invertebrates, and fish from caves, springs, rivers, lakes and wetlands in deserts, jungles, mountains, and the arctic. I have collaborated with scientists and led scientific expeditions throughout the United States, Canada, Pakistan, and Africa. I am comfortable in uncomfortable places.

Laboratory Work

I have processed or supervised the identification of more than 35,00 benthic invertebrate, zooplankton, and fish stomach content samples. I taught aquatic invertebrate taxonomy and biology at Utah State University. Stable istope sample preparation and fish aging are also present in my tool box.
