He grew up exploring the swamps of southern New England in search of reptiles and amphibians. His fascination with these animals led him to pursue a formal education in biology. He earned an A.S. in general studies from Naugatuck Valley Community College, B.S. in biology from Stockton College, M.S. in biology from Southern Connecticut State University, and PH.D. in Environmental Science from George Mason University. Dr. Tupper now teaches biology and zoology at Northern Virginia Community College.
