I completed a Ph. D in Adult Education at the
University of Michigan (U of M) in 1981. While at U of M, I also took
many art history courses. In 1982, I was hired by the University of
Wyoming (UW) to head their graduate degree program in adult education; I
have taught at UW ever since. Sprinkled liberally with the visual arts,
my primary teaching and scholarship areas have examined both pedagogy
and foundational themes – philosophy, values, and history. More recently
I have woven the above areas into residential learning in wilderness
areas.
More and more, I’m
integrating photography and naturalists themes into my curriculum. My
work in residential adult education in wilderness areas seems to be a
culmination of this steady amalgamation. Included in this section are
some recent presentations and writings that examine some of my
interests. There is also information about
upcoming residential programs (with
graduate-credit options) and information about the book authored by
Ellen Petrick and myself
Designing
Residential Wilderness Programs for Adults.

I very much enjoy photography. I
began taking “purposeful” outdoor photographs in 1970 --
consciously trying to capture characteristics of natural as well as
culturally-impacted surroundings.
Beginning in 2002, I set a personal
goal to develop my skills and sensitivities as a photographer – I read a
lot and have taken lots of photographs. In the years to come, I plan to
spend increasing amounts of my time enjoying and pursuing wilderness
subjects. In this section are links to a small gallery of some favorite
images, as well as a few limited edition prints and posters for sale.
