Interests

|
I have spent my entire career on the interface of science and public policy. As a scientist I have six years experience with industry, eight years with government, a decade with not-for-profits, and about a decade in academia. In public service, I have six years legislative experience, eight years as an agency head, many years experience on policy and advisory boards, and the difficult-to-quantify experience of local/state/national, non-partisan and partisan political campaigns. I am a physical geographer fascinated by the processes that alter Earth’s surface. |
