I am concurrently beginning a M.S in Wildlife and Conservation Biology at the University of New Hampshire in fall 2023 and completing my B.S in the same field in spring of 2024. My undergraduate research is focusing on community and spatial ecology concerning the interaction between bobcat and fisher in the state of New Hampshire. I value the partnership between state and federal agencies and ongoing research conducted at UNH. I believe that the applied science that this lab conducts will enable wildlife managers to make decisions that align with the public trust.

Before I started my studies at UNH, I was active duty in the Marine Corps with over 20 years of service. I was fortunate enough to experience some incredible landscapes which drove my decision to pursue a career in wildlife. I have a loving wife and daughter that are excited about wildlife almost as much as I am.
