Tom "Bus" Buskuskie wanted to be a paleontologist since he was 3 years old, and his parents inadvisedly let him watch Jurassic Park. After completing his master's in geosciences, the paleontology career did not work out, but that allowed him to pursue his love of teaching people which led him to the National Park Service.
