Biography:

I've been collecting insects since I was 11, concentrating on beetles for the past 30 years or so. Currently I am head of the Entomology Section at the Florida Department of Agriculture and head curator of the Florida State Collection of Arthropods. My research specialty is in the Cucujoidea but I am interested in and collect all beetles.
