My Background
I completed a B. S. Degree in Geology at Western Carolina University, and a M. S. Degree in Geology at the University of Georgia. I decided to major in Geology after taking two introductory courses at GPC’s Dunwoody Campus in the late 1980s (known as Dekalb College at that time). Before those courses I had no intentions of majoring in science!
