He has worked: on cattle farms, fish farms, and dairy farms; as a research technician in molecular genetics, as a special education tutor in mathematics, and as a teacher at every level from 5th grade through college. He has been nominated for several teaching awards over the years and has written poetry and laboratory textbooks. His research interests vary widely, from olefin catalysis to Oklahoma enology and from chemical education to wildlife conservation. He was nominated for "Oklahoma Innovator of the Year" in 2007 and directed Redlands Community College's Summer Science Academy "Exploring Natural Resources" through the summer of 2013 and is now devoting his time to writing.
