I am an entomologist/educator with two (adult) children, a couple of grandkids, and a wife (Gina). I live in Ypsilanti MI, where I work independently on bee taxonomy, in collaboration with Sam Droege and Clare Maffei (USGS) and others, on resources that might make species IDs more accessible to non-specialists. I also study pollinators and other aspects of biodiversity in SE Michigan. Prominent this year: a survey of visitors to spring ephemerals (links to data) I've made this site to outline the other salient facts of my existence. I don't intend this as a resume (ask me if you want to know what I did before I was 50). Rather I wish to share what I've seen in the course of recent years. It is all beautiful.
