Professor
I am a Professor in the Department of Forest Resources at the University of Minnesota. I did my bachelor’s in Biology at Occidental College, my Ph.D. in Ecology at the University of Connecticut and a post-doc at University of Wisconsin-Madison. I grew up in the upper Midwest, traveled far and wide for college, graduate school and career and then returned to Mni Sota Makoce in 2003, joining the Forest Resources faculty in 2004. I have a spouse in academia, two awesome kids, and two tiny dogs, all of which makes life a bit hectic at times. I loves sharing my enthusiasm for science with others and bringing a sense of wonder to a field that is often perceived as dry, boring, and the realm of experts.
