FORMER ENDEAVORS

Well...I wasn't always slogging (occasionally swimming) through salt marshes. Here's a smattering of past work on other people’s research projects to prove it. For the record, I'm sorry if I ever complained about last minute changes or apparent disorganization. After running my own research project I know now that there's only so much that can go exactly as planned!!!
