简介

Education-- BS, Baylor Univeristy MS, Baylor University Ph.D., University of Maryland I grew up 1000 miles up the Amazon River in the city of Manaus where my parents were Southern Baptist missionaries. I was educated in the Brazilian school system and home-schooled by my parents in subjects not taught in Brazilian schools (US history, English grammar, etc). I'm sure that growing up surrounded by so much water and jungle directed me at an early age towards a life as a wetland ecologist.
