My Education - What brought me here...I have spent much of my life in fascination of the "religion" of science and the perfect dance between all of its amazing parts. Greatly influenced by a high school biology teacher (also a well-known entomologist), I followed a course of study in animal science and biology in my undergraduate years. A great desire to climb took me far and wide after my undergraduate studies as I decided the next phase of my life. After taking entrance exams for medical school and graduate study and being accepted to both, a climbing trip to the White Mountains, NH galvanized wildlife biology (avian ecology, specifically) as what could only become by passion. This became the focus of my first layer of graduate work. I went on to a second level graduate degree in plant physiology (specifically carnivorous plant ecology) as I found an increasing interest in horticulture and plant function. I became a research professor at Southern Connecticut State University and wildlife biologist for the State of Connecticut before electing to bring that experience to high school students, paying forward the positive influence bestowed upon me by my very memorable high school biology teacher.
