Assistant Professor of Environmental Science & Resource Management
California State University Channel Islands
I study the human dimensions of ocean and coastal management using interdisciplinary methods, including community-based research. My goal is to engage students and communities in understanding and sustainably managing their coastal resources.
I enjoy exploring California's coast with my wife and our two boys.
