The Logical Lizard

I was born in New York City and raised in London, England. I have traveled to 40 countries, all the while maintaining a life-long love affair with the American Southwest. I chose to make Tucson, Arizona my permanent home in January of 2004. I have never been happier.

I am a science writer, columnist, television host, photographer, adventurer and art director and my specialty is hunting for, and studying, meteorites. I am actively involved with the annual Tucson gem shows and own a Tucson-based business, Aerolite Meteorites, that provides meteorite specimens to collectors, universities and institutions around the world. My work has been published in Sky & Telescope, Reader’s Digest, Robb Report, Wired, Seed, Meteorite magazine, Geotimes, Lapidary Journal, Rock & Gem, Mechanical Engineering, American Theater Arts, The Village Voice, New York Press, Mushroom (Germany), Przeglad (Poland) and many other national and international publications. I also write a meteorite blog about my adventures hunting for space rocks.

I have appeared in documentaries for Discovery, National Geographic, History Channel, Science Channel, the BBC, A&E, and the Travel Channel. I am a member of the Society of Southwestern Authors, the Association of Applied Paleontological Sciences, and the International Meteorite Collectors’ Association.

My other interests include astronomy, space exploration, ecology, animal rescue and animal rights issues, paleontology, history, science fiction, cinema, punk rock, publishing and printing, and the graphic arts.

While serving a seven-year sentence at a brutal English public school in south London I was frequently berated by my teachers. They were fond of shouting at me: “Boy, you cannot mix art and science! You must select one discipline and stick with it.”

I like to think I continue to prove them wrong every day.
