About the Author
Born in 1960 in Philadelphia. Moved to Aberdeen, SD in 1968. Attended May Overby Grade School, Simmons Jr. High, and graduated in 1977 from Aberdeen Central High School. My mentor during my high school years was Carl Dauman who taught biology and advanced biology. His encouragement and support led to my receiving the outstanding biology student award my senior year.

I attended South Dakota State University from 1977-1981, graduating with a BS Degree in Wildlife and Fisheries Science. I worked a variety of seasonal jobs, finally landing my first permanent, full-time job in Chamberlain, SD in 1982; where I was primarily responsible for fisheries management in the southern half of Wildlife Division Administrative Region 2.

Over time I took on additional responsibilities, especially in the area of officer training.

I wanted to write this book because I believe I have an interesting and informative story to tell. More importantly, I wanted the public to have a sense of what it means - and what it takes - to sign on as a SD game warden.
