Every day is a new discovery. 
Where we unearth our findings varies greatly. 
My passion is the American West, 
historic landscapes, boomtowns, forensics 
and the social behaviors within them. 
Through the recovery, analysis and interpretation of environmental data,
it is possible to rediscover and better understand humankind. 
Through the evidence we uncover, we are able to piece together 
the mysteries of long ago, 
leading us to philosophical, underlying questions of the past 
and where we are heading in our future. 
Discovery is the journey. 
Enlightenment is the reward.
