Why did you enter the teaching profession?

I enjoy teaching. It is the first job that I looked forward to doing each morning.

What do you like most about your field?

The interdisciplinary nature of environmental science keeps me interested and engaged. There is always more or some new aspect to learn.

Fun facts:

I am not a stereotypical "tree hugger" environmentalist. I am more of a conservationist/wildlife management environmentalist. In my free time, I enjoy pheasant hunting, shooting sports, and volunteering at Fitchville Conservation League.
