President 1996-1998
A product of the University of Georgia’s Institute of Ecology and for many years a professor at Arizona State University before taking a position as Senior Research Scientist at Colorado State University, Mike has conducted extensive research on Colorado River fishes. He also served as program coordinator for Council symposia and initiated a badly-needed updating and revision of the Constitution and Bylaws, including a change in terminology from Chairman (or Chair) to President, a less ambiguous term. In addition to many other duties, and ably assisted by his wife (Marlis), he is currently editor of Copeia, quarterly journal of the American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists.
