In addition to teaching weekend classes at Red Rocks, I serve as the Colorado Department of Transportation staff paleontologist, working with state and federal agencies and museums to identify and protect the fossils found near Colorado's roadways and on other state-owned lands.
My formal expertise is in Silurian spathognathodontid conodonts, but I keep tabs on many different topics within paleontology both professionally and for personal interest. Teaching Weekend College classes at Red Rocks is a great opportunity to share the subjects I love with both geoscience majors and students who are just dabbling in the sciences!
