Born and raised as a Yankee, about one mile from the Massachussetts
border. That's me, all decked out on the left. Creative genious, my twin
sister Angela and her new hubbie Koray in the middle. And the two people
on the right - Barbara and Richard - who mastered parental investment theory
before spawning me and my sis!
Below are Bobby, Jones, and Gino (a new dad!), long-time friends indulging
in one of our favorite past times, fishing! Unfortunately, I'll be known more for
my inability to snag fish and my knack for sending reels careening into the
depths of Stateline Pond. Ironic, given that fish are now my study organism!
In 1993, off to Syracuse University to root on the Orangemen and try to slog my way through a
heavy dose of Biology classes. Came out alive, in large part because of Larry Wolf and
Yuying Hsu - splendid mentors!
In 1997, a strange equatorial force began its pull, as I drove to the Bluegrass State to commence
a rewarding five-year stay in Lee Alan Dugatkin's laboratory at the University of Louisville conducting.
research in the field of behavioral ecology.
In 2002, I was given the opportunity to join the Center for Behavioral Neuroscience as a postdoctoral fellow in
Matthew Grober's laboratory. I stayed on for a couple of additional years as an NIH postdoctoral fellow, trying
to concoct a good brewing fusion of proximate and ultimate causation in our quest to understand animal behavior!
If I had continued my southbound meander, I would have ended up in the Gulf of Mexico! So, the most obvious next step was to investigate
uncharted territory in the West. As of August 2006, I'll take on an assistant professor position in the Department of Biology at Cal State Fresno
All aboard.....
