I began working on digital collections while finishing up my master's at MSU in 2002. Presently, I help organize and do logistics for some of the On the Cutting Edge workshops, and I build and maintain the digital collections that support the workshops. In 2007, I authored a Starting Point module about the Lifestyle Project. I have also been developing the content in the Affective Domain module, which is a topic that I particularly enjoy.

In the summer of 2007, my employer switched from Montana State University to Carleton College and the SERC office. However, I am still enjoying the same job duties as before.

Because teaching is my real passion, I have a variety of small teaching jobs to keep me fulfilled. I teach distance learning geology classes for Empire State College. In the winter, I spend all my free time teaching skiing at Bridger Bowl ski area. And in the summer I do some coaching with our local bike racing team.

My background in the earth sciences is in environmental geology and hydrology. My master's research involved investigating the Madison Aquifer for a potential public water supply for the city of Bozeman, MT. Prior to that I taught geology and environmental science at Skidmore College.
