Activities
I am a Conservation Biologist and Landscape Ecologist with over 14 years of experience in habitat conservation planning using the tools of spatial analysis, GIS, and remote sensing. My expertise is in describing and characterizing the ecological and physical conditions within landscapes and seascapes. I specialize in the analysis of natural resource and land management issues from a spatial perspective. My work has mainly focused on issues within the United States and territories, but I have recently been branching out internationally.
My work mission is to help my clients make well-informed decisions regarding their conservation priorities through a systematic analysis of the threats and opportunities that they face.
I am originally from Asheville, NC, USA but now I am based Charleston, SC, USA along with my amazing family, including my wife Catherine, and three teenage children, Cecilia, Joseph, and Charles.
