What do you do for a living?  I am retired from federal government career service.  However, I am actively seeking employment; resume available upon request.
 

How long have you had Herps?  Since childhood.  I started serious reptile keeping in 1992.
 

What got you started keeping Herps in your home?  I grew up in the woods. There were always plenty of creatures to catch and bring home.  They weren't always welcome quests, but I kept catching them anyway.
 

What have been your favorite reptiles to keep?  Boa constrictors, no contest.  The large monitor lizards would be a close second.
 

If you could have any Herp you would want, what would it be?    A Komodo Dragon
 

What famous Herp person would you like to meet?   I have no real preference here.  Anyone from whom I could learn.  
 

If you could go herping anywhere, where would you go?  Anywhere hot, humid, and exotic.
 

What is your most memorable moment spent with Herps?  Time spent with my huge black throated monitor, Snort.  Unfortunately, he has gone on to the great lizard beyond, but he was a once in a lifetime monitor while he was here.  Very tame, ate off of tongs.  He got to be about six and half feet long and probably 70 lbs.
 

What has been the favorite show that you have done?  The Expo in Daytona.
 

Do you have other pets?  Two feline fur children, Fluffy and Luna.  Both rescues.  No, I don't want anymore.   
 

Do you have time to do anything else?  I spend time on my plants and keeping up my yard.  I also repair, strip, and refinish antique furniture..
