Current and Previous Experience
I taught Limnology and Aquatic Invertebrates at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point and then at the University of Nis, Yugoslavia (1980), under a short-term Fulbright in the Department of Civil Engineering. I have peer-reviewed publications in philosophy, aquatic invertebrate ecology, and Botrychium fern distributions. Since the early 1990’s, I have worked as a volunteer, contractor, or seasonal employee with the Minnesota DNR doing field surveys/monitoring of select rare plant species. Most recently, I have worked with the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum doing mostly orchid seed and root collections statewide for the Plant Conservation Program and surveys with the PlantWatch Program.
