About me:
I earned a B.S. in Nuclear Engineering at the University of Arizona in 1985.
However, I did not enter the nuclear industry and instead managed road and
bridge construction projects and later branched into home construction and
remodeling. After 11 years in the construction industry, I began to
develop an interest in Biology. The more I learned, the more fascinated I
became. I ended up going back to school at Middle Tennessee State
University and earned a M.S. in Biology in 2002. Since that time I have
had a wonderful time teaching biology at the community college level. I
also enjoy flying (I am a pilot rated for single-engine planes and gliders) and
spending time with my wife, Amy.
