Nadine and I made our spider debut in 1999 with Fred Coyle and Bill Shear in their famous spider class. Since, we kept ourselves busy around spiders, especially with community ecology, taxonomy and systematics. I previously worked as a post-doctoral researcher in San Diego State University with Marshal Hedin and in Portland State University with Susan Masta. I am currently working for SWCA environmental consultants as a senior scientist for numerous cave related projects. Nadine is now Norman Platnick's research assistant at the AMNH and works on Oonopidae. Our interests are oriented around cave spiders, Linyphiidae, and the genus Cicurina, among others. These projects brought us on the road, in the lab and in caves more than we could ever imagine. You will find below a few of the things that drives us in this never ending quest to go where no pedipalp has gone before

I dont take photos, Nadine does. Most of the shots you will see were taken by Nadine, but some were given by friends and colleagues. Thanks to M. Hedin, C. Buddle, P. Craig, K. White, M. Sanders, Shuqiang Li, D. Kavanaugh, J.F Landry, C. Simard and B. Huber for their photos. A particular thanks to Jean Krejca for the permission to use her fantastic cave shots (photo album #8).
