Background:

I was born in Pleasantville New Jersey. After 2 brief years there, my parents Jim and Juanita, brother James and I moved to Thailand where dad worked for the U.S. Agency for International Development. We spent 5 years there before moving back to P'ville for a couple of years. We then spent 4 years in Nicaragua returning to live in East Orange New Jersey where James and I attended Montclair Kimberley Academy in Montclair New Jersey. James ran off to Cornell University, while I went to the warmth of University of Miami where I majored in Biology with minors in Marine Science and Caribbean, African and African-American Studies. I spent 3 years in the Peace Corps on the island of St. Lucia, followed by 2.5 years getting my masters degree in Fisheries from Mississippi State University in Starkville. I then worked for the National Marine Fisheries Service in Silver Spring Maryland and then the Chicago Academy of Sciences in Chicago, Illinois. I finished my Ph.D. in Fisheries at Oregon State University.
