Interests

An interest in agricultural chemicals evolved into thesis research on pesticide degradation kinetics. This research incorporated inorganic, analytical and biological chemistry and provided an understanding for teaching Agricultural Chemistry, Introductory Chemistry, Introduction to Organic and Biochemistry, and Qualitative Analysis Labs. These interests have grown to include environmental chemistry and the development of a new course with environmental, and consumer emphasis. Graduate studies in Higher Education have included an administrative internship, and emphasis on the applications of technology in science education.

Interests in the environment and outdoors also include skiing, nordic skiing, backpacking, and whitewater rafting (and recently whitewater canoeing) and includes part owner in Riverat Whitewater Toyz ..
