After high school I went to college at UAF and earned a B.S. in Biology in 1974. While attending college I worked summers for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game in Dillingham, Alaska. I met Kay Ward there and, after a year at college together, we married in 1974. After college, Kay and I worked on the Trans Alaska Pipeline during 1976-77. Then we moved to Corvallis, Oregon where I earned an M.S. and Ph.D. in Statistics at Oregon State University in 1978 and 1982 respectively. We returned to Fairbanks in 1981 when I became a faculty member in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at UAF; I served as Department Chair for six years. I then served as Vice Provost for UAF for six years. In August 2012 I became Vice President of Academic Affairs and Research for the University of Alaska statewide system. I retired from that position December 31, 2014. When UAF wanted to conduct a search for a new chancellor, I served as interim chancellor from August 2016 to June 2017.
While employed by UAF, my family and I lived two years, 1988-90, in Sana'a, Yemen and two years, 1992-1993, in Muscat, Oman working as a technical advisor for the U.S. Agency for International Development. In Yemen, I helped coordinate the first national survey of agriculture and provided education on the use of statistical software. In Oman, I worked to improve fisheries statistics reporting.
I co-authored the book "Resource Selection by Animals: Statistical design and analysis for field studies," by Bryan Manly, Lyman McDonald, and Dana Thomas published by Chapman and Hall of London in 1993. A second edition of this text was published by Kluwer Academic Publishers in 2002.
Kay and I celebrated our 50th anniversary in 2024. Being married to Kay has been the best years of my life.
Current hobbies include birding, genealogy, and harmonica. The Foreign Policy Association Great Decisions program provides an important lifelong learning opportunity annually. Kay and I live in the Phoenix area where we are active in a local hiking club. In the past year I have traveled to Australia, India, Bhutan, and Belize to photograph birds.

Thank you and good luck in all your endeavors."
