Michael J.

I am a lifelong learner and I enjoy passing on what I know to others. I have done quite a bit of mentoring in my occupation as an environmental consultant over the past 20 years. My vocational areas of expertise are ecology, biology, ecotoxicology, data analysis, and technical writing. I have been certified by the Ecological Society of America as a Senior Ecologist since 1997.

I hold a M.S. in health physics and radioecology from Colorado State University and a M.A. in ecology/zoology from University of California at Davis. My B.S. from Auburn University is in biology. As a graduate student at UC Davis, I taught undergraduate lab sessions in animal and plant biology.

As an environmental consultant, positive interactions with people is key. I am an active, attentive listener and I will communicate clearly and patiently to help you get the most from a learning session with me.

Many software programs have been learned through intensive self-teaching for use on a particular project.

I am quite adept at trouble-shooting software problems, including Windows, IE, and most MS programs... Read More
