About

I have enjoyed an eclectic career at the intersection of art and nature. As the CEO of the Roger Tory Peterson Institute. As Chicago Program Director for the Gaylord and Dorothy Donnelley Foundation. As a professional actor and volunteer nature steward. As the author of an award-winning biography of George Fell, founder of The Nature Conservancy and the Natural Areas Movement. I am currently at work on a history of Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie and a YA novel entitled, The Fall of a Sparrow.
