I have been employed as an entomologist at the Oregon Zoo, Cincinnati Zoo, Chase Studio, Inc., and most recently the University of Massachusetts (Amherst).

Current volunteer editor with AllExperts.com, Bugguide.net, and WhatsThatBug.com.

MY INSECT / ARACHNID INTERESTS
Primarily Hymenoptera, especially Pompilidae, Crabronidae, Sphecidae, Chrysididae. Also working up a proposal for a popular book on fireflies. Currently finishing a chapter on assassin bugs (Reduviidae) for a book on predatory arthropods.

GENERAL INTERESTS

Hi Eric! Yeah, I'm keeping my real identity a secret online, even though probably half the ESA has already guessed.
