CancelI 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.
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.
