Biography:
I am a nature enthusiast but I also would like to make it a career. I plan on either attending grad school at some point and studying aculeate hymenoptera (more specifically the ecology and systematics of pompilidae) or trying my hand at becoming an interpretive naturalist (which seems a little more fun). I have surveyed the spider wasps of Ohio have a pretty good data set of bionomic information. I now have a website devoted to this work, but it's still under construction. I have a B.A. in biology from The Ohio State University, but attended as a "non-traditional student" (i.e. I have a wife and two kids and it took me five and a half years). I rarely collect anymore (if I do it's for research only) and I prefer to observe and learn from living insects rather than dead pinned ones (not saying pinned insects have no use). I also enjoy enjoy birding and I've had a chance to visit the Everglades, coastal Georgia, the Gulf coast of Florida, and the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas. However if I had to sum everything up into one sentence it would have to be "I love biology".
