I am here for Friends

About Me

I grew up in Lompoc California, and had an interesting childhood driven by curiosity and debauchery (there are a lot of interesting stories). I graduated with my Master's in Biology a few years ago, and then kept myself busy teaching at the University level as a Lecturer. Although teaching was extremely fulfilling, I began to miss research, so I have recently entered a Ph.D. program where I am studying the ecological implications of the management of invasive species via prescribed fire and other methods. Anyone who knows me will tell you that I am eccentric, but very devoted to friends and family.

My Interests

Ecology, Fire Ecology, Invasive Species, Biological Control, Evolution, Zoology, Ornithology, Herpetology, Science in general, Theology, Art, etc.

I'd like to meet:

Dr. Who! I could really use a trip around the universe with a hot genius with really great hair - especially if I could stop relative time and catch up on my publications.

Music:

I'm very general in my music tastes and will be happy listening to anything from Classical to Industrial Metal.

Movies:

Crazy old Sci-Fi and Monster movies, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Princess Bride, Goonies, you know. . . classic feel-good stuff.

Television:

My tv has imploded (like my brain).

Books:

Hitchhicker's Guide Series, Catcher in the Rye, The Princess Bride, Slay and Rescue, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Structure of Evolutionary Theory, Walden.

Heroes:

My mom, my friends in the military, Robert May, G.E. Hutchinson, Robert MacArthur (and the MacArthurian Competitionists), all members of the "Tallahassee Mafia," Dan Janzen, Charles Darwin, Stephen Hawking, and Princess Leia
