Biography
:  Well, it's been 32 years! I am a biology professor at Bergen Community College in Paramus, NJ.  I received my B.S. from Cortland in 1970, M.S., 1972, in zoology from Miami University, Oxford, Ohio and my Ph.D. from N.Y.U. in Plant Ecology in 1983.  I still conduct research on the vegetation of the wetlands in the Mohonk Preserve, New Paltz, N.Y. and teach a course called "Intensive Wolf Study" at the International Wolf Center in Ely, MN in the winter and summer.  The education I received from Cortland was nothing less than superb, stimulating and inspiring. My biology professors were excellent role models.

Occupation: Consultant - Journalist, market resesarcher in agriculture
Biography:  I've been living in Australia since 1974. I taught marine science and biology and then did a grad degree in agriculture. Worked for 16 years in sales and marketing in ag industry and now have my own business mainly as a journalist helping to promote good agricultural practice. Live on a farm in South Australia with my wife and chocolate lab. Two kids grown up and fledged - almost. We breed quarter horses and watch our wheat grow. Still fish, sail and birdwatch (thanks Gus!). My Cortland biology education was a superb foundation for life-long life science learning!  I've never encountered a concentration of educators of that standard since. Would love to hear from other '70s bio majors. Cheers.

Biography: After graduating I took a position in the science department at Tamarac High School (as a biology teacher I know there should be a "k" at the end but there isn't). It is a school outside Troy, New York and I have been there ever since.

I have served as Class Adviser (a four year commitment each time) to six classes throughout the years and have enjoyed my time at the school. Several former students have gone on to become Cortland Alumni. I am classical muisc buff and an avid concert goer and am a member of an area choral group. Both of these activites were nutured while at Cortland. I still am in touch with the roommates I had while at Cortland and have been back for several reunions.
