I Write About Nature
I’m a scientist, a wildlife biologist, with 20 years of field experience and 15 years of leadership and supervisory experience in the natural sciences. I write to inform and engage readers in the wonders of the natural world and all it has to offer. Most recently, I’m enthralled with understanding and sharing the things nature has to teach us, about ourselves, our relationships, and society. Pick up a pair of binoculars and join me as we investigate and fall deeply in love with the natural world.
Geriatric Trekking in the Winds

The first week of August 2025, my brother-in-law John and I hiked the Wind River Range in Wyoming to see the famed Cirque of Towers, a true geologic spectacle. With a 25-year-old heart in a 76-year-old body, we eventually realized we aren’t as young as we used to be and made, what I refer to as, geriatric adjustments to our trip. Join the adventure and see how the two old guys fared.
