I have had a life-long love of science, teaching, and the outdoors, so I'm very happy to serve as a Volunteer Naturalist. Geology was my first field of study. My working career included software development, leading a small educational nonprofit, and teaching high school science. I served as a Boy Scout leader and robotics coach, and hiked the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine. In 2019 my wife and I retired and moved from Ann Arbor to Longmont.
Throughout my life, I’ve gained strength by venturing outdoors with others. My most defining memories are of backcountry skiing, bagging CO 14ers, and trekking internationally. These adventures have given me a healthy respect for mother nature, wildlife, and the environment. After years of working in marketing for tech companies, it is my hope that the volunteer naturalist program will help me transition to something closer to my heart.
I am filled with awe and wonder when in the out of doors. Nature brings out the best in me – reverence, curiosity, wonder and humility. I love to hike, camp, flyfish, ski, and sometimes do nothing, but take it all in. My greatest joy is doing these activities with family and friends as it deepens the connection. As a VN I desire to instill a sense of wonder and caring through education to others in the hope that they are inspired through nature and may also be moved to conserve it.
