I was born in Fairbanks, Alaska in 1957. I was raised in small fishing towns, going through my biggest changes in Sitka, Alaska. This has left me permanently afflicted with a love of fishing.
I conduct research fishing in the Bering Sea, the Gulf of Alaska, and the Aleutian Islands. The data help estimate annual harvest levels of commercially important demersal fishes. When I’m not at sea, I’m chained to a computer in Seattle, misunderestimating abundance parameters, failing to write papers, and making poems by night.
