I have been a Fort Collins Master Naturalist since 2007 and a Colorado Native Plant Master since 2011. I recently retired after 18 years as a biology professor at Colorado College and am now a volunteer Curator at the Gillette Museum of Arthropod Diversity at CSU. In addition to presenting programs as a volunteer naturalist, I continue to do field research on native plants and insects and enjoy participating in community-science projects.
Retired from Univ of Illinois, Illinois State Geological Survey, PhD Geology and Chemistry, MN Class of 2014. Annually, I lead geology trips to three foothills Natural Areas to examine the geologic history and deposits that are integral to the landscape of Larimer County. Interests: Local Geology and geological history, photography, hiking, fly fishing, birding, anything Soapstone, like Hike Through the Ages. Moved to Ft C in 2012 and loving it and the folks at Natural Areas.
A former biology teacher turned science writer, illustrator, and graphic designer, I've been a Master Naturalist since 1995. My illustrations have been incorporated in many of the local natural area entrance signs. I enjoy sharing my passion for natural history and scientific illustration with others.
