Where Nature, History, Art, and Conservation meet.
Love animals? Me too.
I study, write about, and report on, wildlife conservation strategy & economics as well as, taxidermy & conservation history. And I give educational lectures and seminars on a range of topics that fall into those categories.
My greatest loves have always been animals and history. Animals and history brought me to taxidermy. Historical taxidermy brought me to museums. Museum taxidermy brought me to the history of conservation and modern wildlife conservation strategy. And all of that brought me to the study of conservation and hunting in America and around the world.
I wrote a book
"Wildlife conservation economics and conservation history with way too many movie references and one story about how I got paid to poop in a box for science. High art meets memoir meets wildlife conservation science textbook in this animal-centric Freakonomics."
- Me, an expert.
I give really great talks
Seriously. I don’t even feel bad bragging about this because they are so fun. They can be as specific as the role New York State played in the birth of the American conservation movement, or a history of The Royal Family’s connection to Michigan lamprey, or they can be general like Wildlife Economics 101, exploring the intersection of Animals, Food, & Death Culture, or the History of Taxidermy. I often make custom talks for special events. Those cost a little more. Talks are as fun and entertaining as they are informative. He said, declaratively.
