Curator of Insects, Professor of Entomology, University of Alaska Museum, Fairbanks, Alaska & taxonomist of subfamily Nicrophorinae (Silphidae) [edit-2023.. now tribe Nicrophorini of the subfamily Silphinae of the family Staphylinidae]. I have been working on a dynamic & vouchered checklist of the nonmarine arthropods of Alaska since 2006. More information on this here: https://www.uaf.edu/museum/collections/ento/

I don't make many iNaturalist observations, in part because I'm often too busy creating voucher specimens for the Univ. Alaska Museum. I greatly appreciate being notified of any potentially new records for Alaska, or new sightings of rare species.
