I have an MS in Biology and Botany. I did my thesis work on the pollination biology of the rare, endemic Penstemon degeneri. I currently work as a field biologist for the Colorado State Land Board, Elliot Environmental Consulting, and Marshes to Mountains Environmental Consulting. My passion is natural history of any sort including pollinators, native plants, native birds, and on and on. I also own two border collies and do all kinds of fun stuff with them including dog agility.
