My name is Patrick Harmon. Born (1958) and raised in Middletown, New Jersey, I received a bachelors degree in physics from the University of Rochester and three years later a masters degree in Environmental Science from the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies.

While at the UofR, I learned about the subject that was going to sustain my career as a physics teacher at the Country Day School in Costa Rica. It has been a privilege and an honor to work with hundreds of high school students in this forum for the last four decades.

At Yale, I was introduced to the diversity of the tropical forest ecosystem – an event that ignited a spark of interest and fascination for this environment that lives in me to this day and is ultimately responsible for the existence of this website.
