I'm an independent researcher that focuses primarily on Cicadas with a minor interest in Cicada Killers. I have been studying cicadas since 2004. I've been fascinated with Cicadas since I was about 10 years old while growing up in Maryland.

I've also studied the emergence of Brood X Periodical Cicadas in 2004 in the mid-atlantic states and also any straggling evidence for the year 2005 in the same areas.

Most recently, I worked with the folks at the University of Connecticut's Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Lab to map the distribution of Brood XIII Periodical Cicadas that appeared in the mid-west in 2007.

Later in the summer of 2007 I will have published 2 papers on the distribution of cicadas in Massachusetts including significant discoveries of species never before recorded on the island of Martha's Vineyard.
