I have been at Virginia Tech since 1971. Prior to that I was on the faculty at St. Olaf College in Northfield MN and the ACM Wilderness Field base in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area in northern Minnesota. I have also taught a Field Ecology course in the Everglades National Park, Costa Rica and South Africa. In summer 2006 I will coteach a course in Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands.

Teaching Interests:

Since coming to Tech, I have taught over 20 different courses in the Biology Department. I love to experiment with different teaching strategies. Beginning in Fall 1997, I began teaching a graduate level course on how to Teach Biology. I have also taught courses in Perspectives on Addictions and the Family, Educational Counseling and in the Honors Program (Science and Families; Post-Modern Male - issues of men in response to feminism; Relationships and Drugs). No question about it, I really enjoy my job.
