- Field Crop Entomologist for Extension and Research
- Ph.D. 1979 Iowa State University
I am a field crop extension and research entomologist for the state of Ohio. My research interests are in the area of Integrated Pest Management, with emphasis on arthropods and other invertebrate pests in field crops. I currently teach a graduate course at The Ohio State University in Philosophy of Integrated Pest Management.
