I retired from the US Forest Service in 2015. I have volunteered to do bird & butterfly surveys since 2020 and as a Volunteer Naturalist Assistant beginning in 2021.
Hello! I'm a geologist who moved to Fort Collins in May 2018. I love exploring, researching and teaching the geology of the Natural Areas and Open Spaces along the Front Range. Hope to see you soon on one of my geohikes!
