I have studied and collected abalone (genus Haliotis) for 61 years. I have a collection that is almost certainly the most complete in the world. I worked for 14 years in a shellfish hatchery working with Haliotis. I have written over 60 papers on Haliotis that have been published in a number of journals.

Those who know of me will probably tell you that I am the most knowledgeable person on the alpha taxonomy of genus Haliotis in the world today. This is only due to the intense study and collecting of family Haliotidae for over 61 years.
