Awesome
Prof. Ullmann is amazing! I would highly recommend him. Information can be tough, but he'll make it understandable for you. His class is also very entertaining because he's pretty funny!

Good
Professor Ullmann is the nicest guy. He cares about what he teaches. He loves it when his students are involved and engaged because he's very passionate about Paleontology. But, when I took his class for Dinosaurs and Their World and expected a very easy general education course. Surprisingly, it was hard. There's a lot of information to remember. There are a lot of exams and quizzes too. Overall, he's class is not an easy A.

Ullmann
Glassboro, New Jersey
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geology at Rowan University. My research centers on processes of fossilization and preservation of soft tissues and endogenous biomolecules in the fossil record. I have enjoyed performing diverse research, teaching biology and geology courses, and engaging the public in many outreach activities.

Field Crew Chief
As a paleontology field crew chief I coordinated, managed, and instructed crews at dinosaur quarries and field camp. This included training volunteers on how to quarry, identify bones, and make plaster jackets. I also performed quarry mapping, collected field data, and wrote site reports for the Bureau of Land Management.
Arcadis G&M
Field Survey Paleontologist
As a field survey paleontologist for Arcadis G&M I prospected client property for vertebrate fossils to identify sites for seismic testing exclusion. I collected notes on my discoveries and reported my survey results to the project manager.

Dr. C.C. Bradley Memorial Scholarship
C.C. Bradley Memorial Scholars are selected by the Montana State University Earth Sciences Department faculty. I was awarded this $600 scholarship in my senior undergraduate year for my academic achievements.
Montana State University
I volunteered as an undergraduate on paleontology field crews run by Dr. David Varricchio in the summers of 2006 and 2007. We prospected mid-Cretaceous outcrops in eastern Idaho and southwest Montana, including collection of dinosaurs, partial eggs, and other fossil discoveries.
