Go Solar Without Big Daddy's Help (ePub)

Geoffrey Crossland Trager, Marine Biologist and Nature Tour Guide was born in Washington D.C., on November 30, 1954. As the son of university professors whose lifestyles included world-wide travel and frequent relocation by choice, Geoffrey's education and upbringing included diverse experiences ranging in locale from California, Texas, and New York to a year in Israel and summers in Mexico and Europe.

He attended the College of Creative Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he received a Biology degree in 1976. His work experience after that was varied, including snake collecting in the Mexican desert, research on wild bees in Utah, and scuba diving beneath offshore oil drilling rigs in southern California.

In 1985 he went back to school at the University of Southern California, using his research and diving skills to study marine organisms living at hot springs (hydrothermal vents) in the ocean. He received a Master of Science degree in Marine Biology for this work.

Geoffrey moved to Massachusetts in 1987 to continue his education at Boston University, where he learned special techniques of underwater cinematography (infra-red laser technology for filming sea creatures at night). He met and married Lucretia Thomas in 1989 while working on his doctoral thesis at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, completing the Ph.D. program in 1991.

Post doctoral work included submarine dives in the Red Sea, in Egypt and Israel, research and lecturing at the State University of New York, Stony Brook, and publication of numerous articles in scientific journals.

Currently, Dr. Geoff resides in southwest Florida, where he owns two independent enterprises that he began in Naples in 2000. He operates an eco-tour business, taking people out into the local mangrove islands by kayak, and also works as a Scientific Consultant for Rookery Bay National Research Reserve, The City of Naples, and general clientele.
