Sitka, Alaska

My formal training is in math and statistics. I formerly taught math (and a little statistics) at a small liberal arts college that has now closed its doors. Currently I pay the bills by working as a statistical consultant. However, my avocation (which I probably spend more time at) is natural history. I consider myself an aspiring naturalist with a desire to learn as much as I can about my place.

I appreciate the opportunity that bugguide.net provides for people such as myself, with little or no training, to get help with identifying the creatures that share the world with us.
