To help you understand who I am let me first tell
you a few things I'm not. I'm not a professional
Archaeologist, Anthropologist or Geologist. I am
not a relic dealer (although I do sell and trade to  
study and learn). In these days of intense
specialization I think of myself as a synthesist- one
who brings many fields together in productive
ways.

My wife Tamara and I live on a family farm not far
from a large metropolitan area in Eastern
Oklahoma. We both feel it is crucial to maintain a
connection to the natural world beyond the climate
controlled boxes we call buildings and the sanitized
version of nature we see on TV and in parks. We
are active arrowhead and fossil hunters, and we
hike or swim (in the summer!) pretty much daily.

found by a
friend, and is
still in his
collection.
My first memories are similar to
these black and white
snapshots of me with my Great
Grandmother here on the farm.
Dogs, Pipes and our home on
Concharty Mountain still play
large roles in my life.
