Shaver’s Creek nurtured my respect for the learner and an amazement of God’s creation in the out-of-doors.

I retired from the Penn State faculty in 2025. Becky and I make our home on the family farm in State College where we are enthusiastic about the farm’s history and 200+ year-old barn, diversifying the farm’s agricultural productivity, and sharing the farm and outdoors with others, especially our grandchildren.
