About

Bio:: My interest in the natural world led me to study ecology and evolutionary biology, but after all my schooling I found myself confined to the laboratory studying the arguably inconsequential minutia of blood parasites in birds. Seeking to use my scientific background for something a little more relevant to the world, I was fortunate to be offered a position with NRDC working on endangered species issues. Having tried my hand with a biotech company, the National Park Service and even the Environmental Protection Agency, I have a special appreciation for the type of good work done here by my colleagues at NRDC.
Roots in:: I’ve been a bit of a nomad so home is where I hang my hat be that Colorado, Texas, California or right here in Washington DC.
Favorite place:: Grand Canyon, sundown
Why "environmentalism" matters:: Because we all need clean air, clean water and clean land.
