My life spans two worlds. By day, I'm an IT professional with a particular interest in open source software and the community source development methodology. By night (literally when out chasing amphibians during a thunderstorm), I'm a field biologist. Although I consider myself a well-rounded naturalist, my focus is on amphibians, reptiles, native plants, scientific collections, conservation issues, habitat restoration, photography, and exploring natural areas, particularly rivers and streams.

I am the co-author of the Atlas for Missouri Amphibians and Reptiles (http://atlas.moherp.org/) and I manage web sites for the Missouri Herpetological Association (http://mha.moherp.org/) and Midwest Partners in Amphibian and Reptile Conservation (http://www.mwparc.org/).
