I am what is known as a born herper. From my earliest childhood memories I have been flipping rocks and climbing trees after what I find to be the most fascinating group of organisms; reptiles and amphibians. While I did take a hiatus from studies for a short period and dabbled in a successful hepetoculture business importing/breeding amphibians and reptiles from all over the world and supplying zoos, universities and private collectors with specimens, this was never my true goal in life. As I knew my only true happiness to be found in the field learning more about these amazing creatures I sold all of my stock and turned back to my studies. Currently I am having the time of my life laying the foundations for what I plan to be a long and fruit-full career in research.
