I started my career at Saltsburg High School, as  biology teacher, where I also advised the Natural Philosophers' Guild, a group of environmentally minded students who wanted opportunities to learn and interact with the community.  We did many very interesting things and helped the community in a number of interesting ways, from cleaning up litter and recycling to cleaning up the local botanical garden and bringing activities to the elementary schools.  I was honored to coach their envirothon team for many years and I made many excellent contacts in PA environmental science through that opportunity.

As a teacher in North Carolina, I am still teaching biology and leading a group of environmentally minded students.  I currently only teach biology, but I hope to be able to teach AP Environmental science in the near future.

Here's a slideshow of just a few of the things that I've done with kids during my teaching career.
