About me

Industry Science
Occupation Postdoc
Location texas, United States
Introduction All my favorite things begin with the letter B: baseball, beer (especially stouts) bird skinning (my skinned species list is more important than my life list), bridges, books (mostly fantasy), boats, beef, and the color blue. I love collecting and spend a fair amount of time collecting in fair off lands. Even if i'm not on a collecting trip I like to wander around- if I'm in one spot for more than a few days I start getting twitchy.
Interests baseball, beer, specimen collecting, bird skinning, raptors, hunting, pointers, systematics, phylogenetics
Favorite Movies Star Wars, LOTR, Boondock Saints, Blue Crush, Monty Pythons and the Quest for the Holy Grail
Favorite Music Country, Classic Rock, some pop
Favorite Books Young adult fantasy, science fiction, the occasional murder mystery or history of science book
