He is a retired research ecologist, and has done field work with both plants and animals in montane forests, deserts, estuaries, and coastal waters. Since returning to Central Oregon, he is rediscovering his first love of arid lands botany and general natural history.

He also enjoys gardening, tinkering, and hiking as much as old rusty knees allow.
