Greetings and welcome to my web site! 

Only the mountain has lived long enough to listen objectively to the howl of the wolf.

I hope this format allows you to understand my teaching, research, and service efforts at Texas A&M University.  More importantly, I hope this site helps you understand me. 

Where you stand on an issue usually depends upon where you sit.

We have but one biosphere.  We have a responsibility to ensure that we leave this earth ecosystem to our offspring in at least as good a condition as we inherited it.  Those of us so deeply honored to contribute to Conservation Science have a responsibility to use our skills, our science, and our creativity to maintain the earth's biodiversity.

All the flowers of all the tomorrows are in the seeds of today.
