Autorenporträt

The author was born in the mining town of Rico, Colorado and received the doctorate degree in Biology from Ball State University in 1974. He is a retired Professor Emeritus of Science Education from the University of Wyoming. Without funds for college, and with a temporary teaching certificate, he began his education career at the isolated Hide Out Mine School in San Juan County Utah in 1960. Later he taught biology and other sciences at the Monticello High School in Monticello, Utah. He is best known in Wyoming for his work with teachers in conservation/environmental education workshops throughout Wyoming. In the University of Wyoming's Science and Math Teaching Center, with teachers from more than thirty Wyoming school districts (1995-1998), he wrote and compiled the "Wild Wonderful Wyoming: Choices for the Future" elementary and secondary school environmental education activity manuals, which went to one third of Wyoming's K-12 teachers. He has authored numerous professional articles in science education and environmental education journals and the book, "Thirteenth Year in Zion." He was honored at the Annual Conference of the North American Association for Environmental Education in Portland, Oregon when he received the distinguished Outstanding Service to Environmental Education by an Individual Award for 2009. For his lifetime of service, November 2019, he received the Contribution to Biodiversity Conservation Award from the Biodiversity Institute at the University of Wyoming.
