I have taught 16 different lecture, lab, and field courses in my academic career. My teaching evaluations were consistent excellent to superior. I also taught six different laboratory courses as a graduate student. In 2000, I began working with high school teachers in developing science curricula funded initially through an NSF grant to the Nebraska Earth Sciences Educational Network. I continue preparing science laboratory curricula in Forensic Science, Botany, Zoology, and Archaeology as well as lecturing to high school and elementary school classes. I am currently developing curricula for the Omaha Nation Public Schools.
Between 1974 and 1986 I participated in numerous excavations in the Sonoran Desert, the Colorado Plateau, the Chihuahuan Desert, the Arctic, and the Plains. These excavations included pithouse villages, pueblos, cemeteries, historic homesteads, open camp sites, cave sites, and winter houses. I have done more limited excavation in the Sertão of Brazil and the Atacama Desert of Peru.
