More about me

Highlights of my 20+ years at OMSI include major exhibit projects on environmental issues, natural history, assistive technology, and human biology. During my time at the museum I have learned to love collaborative projects and barely kick or scream at all any more. My interest with museum collaboration began with the NSF-funded Exhibit Research Collaborative (ERC). I authored a book based on the work of the ERC, “Seeking Synergy: Creating a Museum Collaborative That Works,” and have presented on museum collaboration at conferences in Canada and Germany. My newest collaborative venture is the Small Museum Research Collaborative (SMRC), a partnership between OMSI and five small museums to create more audience-appropriate small traveling exhibits. In my free time I feed and clothe two growing teenage boys and an overworked middle school science teacher.
