Quotations

"One is loved because one is loved, no reason is needed for loving" - Paulo Coelho

"It's hard not to think about what comes next...and what if nothing comes next." - CMG

"Love is everything it's cracked up to be. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk everything, you risk even more" - Erica Jong

"Never make someone a priority that is only willing to make you an option!" - unknown

"The ultimate metaphysical secret, if we dare state it so simply, is that there are no boundaries in the universe. Boundaries are illusions, products not of reality but of the way we map and edit reality. And while it is fine to map out the territory, it is fatal to confuse the two" - Ken Wilbur

"It is not from ourselves that we learn to be better than we are" - Wendell Berry

"Follow your bliss and don't be affraid and doors will open where you didn't know they were going to be" - Joseph Campbell

"The cosmic religious experience is the strongest and noblest driving force behind scientific research" -Einstien

"Love is the supreme unifying principle of life" - MLK

"The trick is what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same" - Carlos Castenada

"Perhaps on some unknown, unconscious level the genetic encoder DNA provides a bridge to biological memories of all living things, an aura of unbounded awareness manifesting itself in the activated mind" - Bruce Lamb

"Information stored in the neural-genetic material might be made available to consciousness...by intercalation of tryptamines and beta-carbolines into the genetic material" - Terence McKenna

About Me

Gender
Male
Location
about me
My primary interests are science, art, music, and outdoor adventure. My careers have always revolved around these passions. And any success I've had is only because I have enough sense to hang out with people smarter than me. I worked as a zoologist for many years and spent a fair amount of time doing field-work in Latin America studying vertebrate predators. My specialty is chemoecology. I get a kick out of science writing and have published 40 or so peer-reviewed papers on animal behavior, and archaeology. I've been drawing and painting since I was a kid and started freelancing as a science illustrator in my early 20s. I've published hundreds of illustrations, including numerous books for Cornell University Press. I quit doing technical illustrations some time ago and switched to fine art. Examples of both can be found on this site.

I took a break from zoology in the mid 90s and threw myself into the media biz.. I've launched 3 magazines, distributed numerous books, reviewed books, and worked as an editor and publisher. During that time I also held an adjunct professorship in the University of TX system and led eco-trips on the Amazon River from Iquitos Peru to Letecia Colombia.

Presently I consider myself semi-retired and spend a lot of time outdoors. Over 200 days under the stars last yr. I work with a crew of super talented people and I have an awesome job!

In my spare time I fly-fish, carve, paint, weld, make lithic tools and other primitive weaponry, play music, write screenplays and read. I'm a magazine and abstract junkie.
