I am a restoration biologist and I also do habitat preserve management. I did my master's at SDSU on the plant genus Dudleya. I described a couple.of new species of Dudleya from Baja California, D. crassifolia and D. hendrixii. I enjoy learning about all life forms as well as chasing tornadoes and checking out erupting volcanoes. I have been a professional biologist for over 40 years in San Diego.
