Associate Professor, Biology

Location: Steamboat Springs

Education

  • MS in Integrative Physiology, University of Colorado Boulder
  • BS in Environmental Biology, Mount Union College

I am interested in the intersection between sustainability and biology. Most folks think of microbes and genetics as something they only need to know about if they want to be a doctor, but they play such a huge role in our natural world as well. To me permaculture is the perfect blend, an applied form of ecology.

I am a beekeeper and love learning about bees. I enjoy sharing what I know as co-advisor of CMC's student Beekeeping Club as well as the president of the Routt County Beekeeping Association. I am also the co-advisor for the Phi Theta Kappa academic honorary.

Research Interests

I've researched bird populations, worked on recovery of an endangered bird in Hawaii, and studied how bird disease can affect their mating success. I've researched a deadly amphibian fungus in Australia and butterfly diversity in Venezuela. Currently my research focus is on undergraduate science education, and I enjoy helping students conduct experiments as well as testing things out on my bees.

Awards

CMC Steamboat Springs “Faculty of the Year” 2011-2012

Personal interests

All things outdoors. In 2010 I thru-hiked the Colorado trail. In 2012 I thru-biked it (with wilderness detours). I like mountain biking, backcountry skiing and cross country skiing.

Academic and Professional Pursuits

Over the past three years I have enjoyed teaching a variety of courses in the English department of CMC's Summit campuses. Additionally, I worked as a freelance writer under the business heading River Bridge Communications. From writing ad copy to text book companion Web sites to articles covering anything from the evolution of skiing to water wars in the West, I wrote my way around Summit County and the surrounding areas. I am currently revising a collection of essays about family, place, and the search for the good life set against the backdrop of northern Minnesota's lake country. Two chapters have been published in Hayden's Ferry Review and The Oakland Review.

Perry is originally from the East Coast, and has lived in Steamboat since 2001.  He received his bachelor’s degree in economics and finance from the University of Pennsylvania (Wharton School of Business) and an MBA from the University of Chicago, Booth School of Business, in finance and marketing.  As a life-long learner, he returned to college to finish accounting to become a licensed CPA, thanks to Franklin University and Pat Turner at CMC!  Since becoming a CPA in 2009, he has taught accounting, economics and finance most recently as department head of business at Western Wyoming Community College in Rock Springs.

Perry comes to CMC with 30 years of business experience, across a wide range of organizations.  His most extensive corporate stint was 17 years with American Express in New York and Toronto.  His last position there was head of global budgeting; other positions involved bond financing, foreign exchange, strategic planning, division head of financial management, and the treasurer role for the Canadian business.  Perry has also worked for a wide range of other organizations including Andersen Consulting (now Accenture), the International Erosion Control Association, Western Slope Accounting Group, and Catamount Ranch and Club all in professional capacities.  He was also owner/operator of a Steamboat-based building products business for five years.

Outside of business and teaching, Perry is married with an adult age daughter.  His outside interests include wine tasting, biking, downhill skiing and gardening.  He has been involved in Kiwanis, Chamber Associations, continuing education, and sustainability volunteer activities.  Academically he keeps engaged through continuing professional education in accounting, and voracious reading.  Current academic areas of interest are behavioral economics and the Great Recession.  He said, “I will be totally focused on ensuring the academic success of the BSBA program at Alpine.  It’s great to become part of such an exciting venture.  I know our students will find CMC’s program to provide a personal, hands-on and very practical experience.  That’s my commitment to them and contract with them.”

At CMC Perry focuses on accounting and finance, but is also involved in marketing, economics and human resources.  He also works doing tax accounting part-time for a local public accounting firm.
