Bio:

I grew up exploring the shores of San Francisco Bay, and have been interested in the natural history and systematics of intertidal invertebrates from the northeast Pacific Ocean ever since. I did my Senior Thesis at UCSC under John Pearse and Todd Newberry, and my M.S. and Ph.D. degrees under Peter Frank at the University of Oregon. When I first came to UCSB in 1998, I worked for a few years with Armand Kuris, Kevin Lafferty and Mark Torchin. My taxonomic specialty is the opisthobranch gastropods, especially nudibranchs and their prey. I have returned to Oregon many summers to teach Coastal Biology with my friend and colleague, Dr. Stewart Schultz from the University of Zadar, Croatia.
