Where are you from originally? I was born in Jersey City, New Jersey and grew up in nearby towns.

How long have you been in your business? 23 years!

How did you get into your business? While I was in graduate school for biology, I worked at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. I enjoyed doing science demonstrations and interacting with the public. My work there taught me geology and paleontology.

Why is this job important to you? I love having the opportunity to share nature, past and present, with people so they will value it. I want them to find the wonder in it and desire to preserve it.

What's going on? Dinosaurs & More! May 29th - September 6th  Come see the robotic dinosaurs and Ice Age mammals including the T-Rex and Saber-Tooth cat family.
