I love this stuff...

As a kid I spent hours upon hours on the boat.. where my Dad would drive me crazy by pointing to the water and saying  "can you see that?.. nope can't see it, have to imagine it".. which led me to a career/love learning how to see what we couldn't see.. Now.. I've been with NOAA's Chesapeake Bay office where I set up and ran boats mapping the Bay bottom, learn what makes oysters happy, and essentially trying to make a dent at "Saving the Bay". In 2007 the position at NCBO became" full on" education. I brought in the "ROV in a Bucket" Program I created back in '04 and then developed low cost observation buoys (Basic Observation Buoys) and "Build-a-Buoy". Before I left NCBO I was working on dynamic, online worksheets that populate with data fresh from the observation systems. In May of 2010 I became a program manager for NOAA's Integrated Ocean Observing System managing a portfolio of coastal  oceanographic models that forecast or map coastal inundation and hypoxia.

Leslie is a nurse in the Cardiac Care unit at Suburban Hospital in Bethesda, MD. She lives in an apartment in Silver Spring with her dog Lucky.  Andy is a Public Safety Officer at Wesley College, living in Dover, Delaware. Eric, Elliot, and Earl are all doing remarkably well.. I now have three grandsons and a grand daughter. 

Fezzick (my golden), Rascal (the cat)  and Wesley (my love bird) keep me company.. along with the abundant wildlife and animals too... i.e. rabbits, deer, snakes, spiders, etc. Come and visit!!
