Antonio Monterrosa is on paternity leave as a certified, tenured science teacher at Denver's Manual High School, where he has served for four years as a tutor, advisor, and quite possibly the state's most losing softball and tennis coach. For some mysterious reason, the Colorado High School Coaches Association recently recognized Antonio as the 2001 Girls' Tennis Coach of the Year.

Raised in Alaska by his elementary-teacher parents, Antonio learned most of his ecological lessons as a wet, salty commercial fisherman and as a Dept. of Fish & Game field technician terrorized by both grizzly bears and mosquitoes. Antonio served as a teaching assistant at Santa Clara University, where he earned his B.S. in Biology in 1991. After conducting cancer research for Sandoz Pharmaceuticals in Basel, Switzerland, Antonio gratefully accepted both Howard Hughes and Ford Foundation predoctoral fellowships. Antonio earned his Ph.D. from the University of Colorado's Dept. of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology in 1997. While at CU, Antonio happily served as a member of the Science Squad, an outreach program that traveled to inner-city K-12 schools and staged grandiose "science shows" for teachers and students.

With his wife, Willow, a pediatric resident, and their two children, Antonio enjoys singing, playing sports, baking wedding cakes, listening to '80s soft-rock hits, driving his '57 Chevy, and making sure that everything around him is impeccably neat, clean, and organized.
