I enjoy interacting with children and adults through lectures, workshops, classroom lessons, and field trips. Combining an amicable personality, good sense of humor, and engaging presentation style, I connect with audiences of any age, educational level, or cultural background. Whether teaching a writing lesson to elementary school children, leading a nature field trip for kids and adults, delivering an invited talk for a non-profit organization, lecturing to university students, or conducting workshops for professional organizations,   I deliver stimulating programs that both educate and entertain.

I have been an invited speaker for a variety of entities from elementary schools to universities to professional societies to non-profit organizations  
Here is a partial List of Organizations.

My programs for school children are now delivered through Nature Tales and Trails, LLC.  For additional information visit the NT&T Programs page.
