I have worked in archaeology in the Southwest since 1978. Love my job! Ran a contract archaeology office at San Juan College for 20 years. Teach an archaeology field school at a private ranch in Farmington. Been excavating at Point Pueblo for 10 years now. Have two daughters that are both wildlife biologists. Leah does birds and Kate does shellfish and fish. I love to camp and travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My daughter wanted to try it when we were on the way back from visiting family in Dayton, Ohio. Stayed in Tulsa and in Oklahoma City (I think) and had a good time. Even though I am retired, I still work a LOT, so decided that at this time, I was not up for visitors. Will change that later whenever I have more time available.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
