About Me

I joined the Missouri Botanical Garden's Litzinger Road Ecology Center in October 2007 to assist in managing the increasing number of schools visiting the site. Prior to joining LREC, I spent three years as an AmeriCorps*VISTA and VISTA Leader working with Missouri 4-H to establish, support, and sustain after-school computer labs and youth technology projects in a number of counties across Missouri. A St. Louis native, I received a B.S. in Engineering Management from the University of Missouri- Rolla and a M. Eng. in Industrial and Management Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

I've had photography as a hobby since the early 90s, but since joining the staff at the Missouri Botanical Garden's Litzsinger Road Ecology Center in 2006, I've taken on photography responsibilities here in addition to my official title. A significant number of the photos on our website (www.litzsinger.org) are mine, as are a few of the blog entries. Because of where I work, the majority of photos I take fit in the nature/landscape category. I've also had extensive experience with PTAssembler, Pano2QTVR, and Quicktime VR, as I created a virtual tour of our facility (also available through our website).
