More About Me

I am an Environmental Scientist with a diverse background in various natural sciences. I grew up in San Diego, CA and eventually attended the University of California, Riverside where I received my BS in Environmental Sciences in 2010. My time in Riverside sparked a variety of interests in soil science, hydrology, entomology, environmental toxicology and regulation. After I graduated from UCR, I moved across the country to Morgantown, WV where I attended West Virginia University as a Forestry Master’s. I continued to diversify my background by finding new interests in invasive species, forest hydrology and watershed management, geographic information systems, forest pest management, wetland ecology and outreach education. As a student, I worked with the US Forest Service Northeastern Research Station focusing on a variety of Forest Pests in the region. I received my MS in Forestry from WVU in May of 2012. After graduating from WVU, I joined AllStar Ecology, LLC, a local environmental consulting firm. AllStar allowed me to gain experience in a variety of fields including stream identification and wetland delineation, stream and wetland mitigation, hydric soils, wetland restoration, endangered species surveys, environmental regulation and conservation planning. I worked with AllStar from June 2012 until October 2016. During my time with AllStar, I was able to see and help the company grow in staff and services offered and was lucky enough to be able to help develop a variety of in-house programs. During my tenure with AllStar, I furthered my interest in soil science and began my pursuit of becoming a CPSS, evenutally taking additional soil science classes at Texas Tech University through the Ag*Idea Consortium. In 2016, my wife received her PhD from WVU and accepted a job offer in Raleigh, NC. In November of 2016, I joined the Planning and Environmental Team with Michael Baker International in their Cary, NC Office where new exciting opportunities await.
