When I'm not researching, writing, reading, or teaching, I am usually throwing a ball for my ill-behaved rescue dogs or hanging out with Liz, my wonderful partner of 13 years. Kayaking is our favorite way to explore Western Massachusetts, and we are also into birding and gardening.
I am an enthusiastic grower and propagator of succulents, particularly haworthias and agaves, although lately I've been enamored of sempervivums, hardy opuntias, orystachys, and anything else that can survive outside in Zone 5–6. I also love hiking and reading fiction.
