Welcome to my instructor website!

I am a full-time Biology professor here at Wenatchee Valley College.  I have been here since the fall of 1989.  I received my B.A. in Marine Biology from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 1980 and my M.Sc. in Biology from the University of British Columbia in 1986.  Prior to arriving at WVC, I worked for 3 years as the Program Director for Catalina Island Marine Institute, an outdoor education facility in Southern California.  In addition to teaching at WVC, I teach in the summers at Walla Walla College’s Rosario Beach Marine Laboratory in the San Juan Islands of Washington.  Marine Biology & Oceanography are my first loves in Biology.  During this quarter, I hope you will gain the same passion for the living world as I have!
