Getting on the bandwagon

I thought I would keep up with the times and post my rants and raves and rambles as a blog, seems to be the thing to do these days. So let's start with the basics, I am an Assistant Natural History Biologist for the Missouri Department of Conservation in the Ozark region of southern Missouri. My office is in West Plains, but I live in Alton, near the beautiful Eleven Point National Wild and Scenic River. There is a lot of cool shit around here, from spring-fed rivers, to dolomite glades, to tremendous numbers of caves, to all kinds of species of conservation concern. And my job is to go out and find them, observe them, and document them. You can view photos from my time in the Ozarks at:
