I have a degree in biology and a Master’s degree in plant
ecology from Colorado State University. During my career and travels, I have
worked on highway revegetation, in mining reclamation, in horticulture and
greenhouses, in the seed industry, and as a hay inspector for the Department of
Agriculture.
I taught elementary school for 10 years as a momentary 2nd
career and have gardened since I was a kid.
I now work as a consultant with the public land management
agencies (Forest Service, BLM and CO Parks and Wildlife)
I look at plants when I watch movies and share the
information that I get – observations like “palm trees would never grow in that
location”; observations that my daughters never appreciated!
I totally loved the movie “The Martian”. It is a very rare
movie that has a botanist in it, let alone as The Hero.
