Background

Lepper is a native of Hudson, Ohio and graduated from Hudson High School in 1974.[3] He has continued to live in Ohio apart from his time at the University of New Mexico, where he received his bachelor's degree after transferring from the University of Akron.[4][2] Lepper earned his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees at Ohio State University.

Career

Lepper began his career as curator at the Newark Earthworks and Flint Ridge State Memorial after interning with the Ohio Department of Transportation.[2] He is known for the excavation of the Burning Tree mastodon, which took place in December 1989 during expansion of a golf course in Licking County, Ohio and which eventually resulted in rethinking then-current ideas about mastodons' diets. The story made Discover Magazine's top fifty science stories in 1991.[5]
