I am an entomologist/educator with two (adult) children and a wife (Gina). I live in Corvallis OR, recently retired as a resident scientist at the Environmental Sciences Magnet school in Hartford CT. I've made this site to outline the other salient facts of my existence. I don't intend this as a resume (ask me if you want to know what I did before I was 45). Rather I wish to share what I've seen in the course of recent years. It is all beautiful.
My main preoccupation as of Dec 2022: I work for the Institute of Applied Ecology on pollination biology. See Link. I also work independently on bee taxonomy, in collaboration with Sam Droege and Clare Maffei (USGS) and others, on resources that might make species IDs more accessible to non-specialists.
