Job Title: Professor of Biology
Employer: University of Winnipeg
Place of Birth: Vancouver, BC, Canada
Further Education: University of British Columbia (B.Sc., M.Sc.), University of Alberta (Ph.D.), University of Washington (PDF).
Geographic focus of research: British Columbia, Manitoba, Brazil, Panama, Venezuela
Brief synopsis of current research:
I study the relationship between fluctuating
asymmetry and reproductive success in fishes. I
am also investigating the historical
relationships between the well-being of fish and
human populationsm in Manitoba. In the past I
have studied the intensive aquaculture of
walleye and problems associated with the growth,
survival, and development of larval walleye.

Comments:
I chose a career involving fishes because they
and their aquatic environment began fascinating
me in my early childhood. My career has let me
indulge my curiosity about fishes as well as to
try to learn something about fishes which can
benefit human society. While teaching aquatic
ecology I have had the opportunity to inform
hundreds of students about critical ecological
and environmental issues facing society. My work
has taken me from the Queen Charlotte Islands of
B.C. to Newfoundland and from Brazil to
Thailand. My career has been rich and rewarding.
