| As a geologist, author and guide, I love to share my appreciation of earth history with anyone who is curious about landscapes and how they may have formed. I have a passion for landscapes and how cultures either thrived or withered because of those landscapes. I also love foreign travel, ancient peoples and hiking in the great outdoors.
My association with high quality educational organizations such as the Museum of Northern Arizona, Grand Canyon Field Institute, Coconino Community College, Smithsonian Journeys, and TCS Expeditions means that no matter where we might travel together, we will learn about and enjoy the varied beauties of this planet.  My new book, "Ancient Landscapes of the Colorado Plateau," will be published by the Grand Canyon Association and available for sale in October. ALCP is co-written with Dr. Ron Blakey, a former professor of mine at Northern Arizona University, and contains dozens of his dazzling portrayals of the numerous former landscapes that once graced the Colorado Plateau. This book is creating a lot of buzz within the geologic community of the American Southwest as Dr. Blakey's maps have been enjoyed on his web site for the last 10 years. Now his maps and my text will be available in one beautiful place!
