- Ph.D. in Marine Science, University of South Florida, St. Petersburg, Florida, U.S.A., 1993
- M.S. in Marine Biology, Southeastern Massachusetts University, North Dartmouth, Massachusetts, U.S.A., 1983

I moved from Massachusetts to Florida to attend graduate school at the University of South Florida's College of Marine Science. While a graduate student I worked for the Florida Institute of Oceanography and the Florida Marine Research Institute. Now back in the northeast, I teach marine biology most summers at the Gulf Coast Research Laboratory in Ocean Springs Mississippi.
