Nice to meet you!

​Welcome to my website! I am an Associate Professor in the Center for Earth and Environmental Science at SUNY Plattsburgh. I received a B.S. and a M.S. from the University of Vermont in environmental studies and natural resources, respectively.  I also hold a Ph.D. in forest resources and environmental conservation from Virginia Tech. I am a broadly trained social scientist interested in human dimensions of natural resources, including issues related to outdoor recreation and tourism, the planning and management of public land, environmental justice, and environmental education. I am also a member of the Williston Conservation Commission and the co-founder of a non-profit, Green Mountain Off-Road Inc., focused on diversifying the sport of cycling.
