I earned a PhD in Zoology at University of Idaho in 1993. I did postdoctoral research at the University of Florida Medical School studying spinal cord repair until 1995, when I landed an assistant professor job at Dixie College, which is now Utah Tech University. I regularly teach Human Anatomy, Comparative Physiology, Comparative Anatomy, Animal Behavior, and Evolution. I try to truly live the Active Learning, Active Life motto by combining lectures with laboratory experiences whenever possible.
