About Me...

I received my PhD from the University of Chicago in 1995, working under Dr. Jack Sepkoski. After one year of post-docing at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History, I returned to the Chicago as a curator at the Field Museum of Natural History. Since 2017, I have been a professor at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln & a curator at the University of Nebraska State Museum.

Or, we can cut to the chase, and you can just download a copy of my CV…

You can also see what I've done on my Google Scholar page. Pick a paper and root for it! (That's the point, isn't it?)

I am also one of the original members/contributors/enablers of the Paleobiology Database, having been involved since 1998.
