I am The Virtual Fossil Museum's primary webmaster. Vocationally, I am currently a computational biologist; here I list and store my publications so as not to lose them on my hard drive. My avocational interests include evolutionary biology (especially Precambrian and Cambrian), paleontology, and science education advocacy. I also contribute to the Palaeos and Western Trilobite Association website.
