Professor of Biology
The “other Dr. Sattler” in the department is the younger brother of Dr. Paul Sattler by eight years and has been at LU since 1996. He grew up in Toledo, Ohio, his first love is birds, and he listens to classical music. He has worked as a summer naturalist and as a zookeeper at the Toledo and Cincinnati Zoos. His doctoral research at the Smithsonian Institution used molecular markers to examine the genetics, behavior, morphology, and ecology of hybridizing Black-capped and Carolina chickadees. In the fall he spends time on the “Bald Spot” documenting local hawk migration, and also bands migrating Northern Saw-whet Owls in the area. His wife, Christy, formerly worked as a children’s nurse, and now home schools their twin daughters Katherine and Hannah.
