About me

I started my library career at Penn State in 1985 when I became the engineering reference librarian / engineering & earth and mineral sciences cataloger. In 1990, I became head of the Earth and Mineral Sciences Library. Prior to joining Penn State, I worked in industry as a civil engineer. I grew up in Illinois and am a long-time Cardinals baseball fan and, following my move to Pennsylvania, a Steelers football supporter. Thanks to my family, I’ve become a wrestling fan and enjoy many other types of sports. An afternoon at the ballpark – all levels – is always fun. Once upon a time I played a pretty good game of soccer and field hockey but my talents tend more towards music. I am currently learning how to play the bagpipes!
