My name is Jack Espinosa.  Born in Miami, Fl....  Miami Senior High School - home of the Stingarees.  I attended MDC and FIU.  My interests
include but are not limited to - science, music, Mt. biking, SCUBA diving, current events, history, science fiction -
since eventually so much of it
turns out to be reality
, all the science channels and documentaries, sports, technology, and of course family.  I never thought I would be doing
what I do for a living.  But now, I can't see myself doing anything else.  I have developed a real passion for passing down all this amazing
knowledge of the natural world and its processes that I have gathered through the years to future generations. Hopefully I can at least inspire them
to appreciate the vast complexity of world and to make educated decisions as consumers, parents, and voters as it relates to the environment as
well as humanity.  And perhaps, more than a few will revisit me as professionals in some science field one day for a free lecture or two so I can
catch up on grading....
