About Me:

   I lived on our family farm in Nebraska until college at the University of Nebraska and Colorado State University. After graduation, I worked for the Wyoming Game and Fish Department in various positions for 30 years including wetlands manager, big game biologist, and small mammal biologist. I worked on reintroduction of the endangered black-footed ferret, inventoried hundreds of caves and abandoned mines for bats, and conducted counts of big game animals, bald eagles, and prairie dogs from small planes and helicopters.
   I was fortunate to be able to travel in the remote areas I use as the setting for my books, including Hole-in-the-Wall Valley, Brown's Park, and Wind River, Bighorn, and Copper Mountains in 
Wyoming, and Peloncillo Mountains in Arizona and New Mexico
   I have traveled widely in Central America, Mexico, South America, the US Virgin Islands, and East Africa, birdwatching and shooting photos.
   I authored several technical wildlife publications during my career, and have written wildlife-related articles for Wyoming Wildlife and other magazines.
   I now live along the San Pedro River in southern Arizona and visit Wyoming and Nebraska often.
