Prior to my teaching/writing career, I was a zookeeper, wildlife rehabilitator & researcher, and wild animal trainer

I've worked mainly with big cats, sea lions, and birds of prey but have also worked with elephants, horses, and MANY other types of animals.

I even worked with Einstein, the ONLY trained tamandua (lesser anteater) in the HISTORY OF THE WORLD, originally trained by Dr. "Jungle George" Stoecklin.
