Biography I was raised in Pennsylvania and Florida. I received a B.S. in Zoology from the University of Florida and then went north to the University of New Hampshire for my M.S. and Ph.D. in Zoology. I have been at ECSU for over twenty years. Invertebrate zoology is my special interest, and I teach courses in it, parasitology, and a mini-course called Boreal Invertebrate Ecology, the latter including a long week-end in New Hampshire and Maine. In addition, Organismal Biology and Tropical Biology (Bermuda) are in my teaching domain. Papers addressing the taxonomic problems regarding Bermuda's amphipod fauna have been either published or presented at scientific meetings. In addition to this research, I am interested in museum collections of invertebrates and serve as a Curatorial Affiliate at the Peabody Museum.
Reasearch Interests My research concentrates on invertebrates known as amphipod crustaceans. These animals, some collected by me and students over the years in Bermuda, and others, historical specimens housed in the collections at the Peabody Museum, Yale University, have provided the basis for studies by me, independent study students, and former students.
