I am a Principal Scientist with more than 27 years of experience. I work on environmental assessments of all kinds in all places and have conducted studies of the effects of inorganic and organic chemicals, urban and industrial development, ecosystem modification, and petroleum and mining related development on aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems at sites throughout the United States, its territories (Guam), Ireland, United Kingdom, Brazil, and Azerbaijan. My work includes evaluations of injuries to terrestrial and aquatic resources, endangered species, and sensitive environments and I have enjoyed designing restoration alternatives to mitigate such impacts.. As part of this work, I have also managed cultural assessments evaluating the impacts of proposed developments on local cultures, archaeological sensitive areas, and environments.My technical skills include statistical analyses (biometry), analytical chemistry, human health/ecological risk analyses, wildlife biology/toxicology, natural resource damage assessment, environmental impact statements, endangered species assessments, and pollutant transport modeling. I have testified in court as an expert in Remedial Investigations of sediments, Forensic Analyses, and Wildlife\Ecological toxicology for both private and federal clients. I have a strong understanding of the current state of the sciences used to develop legal requirements set forth by FIFRA, CERCLA, RCRA, NEPA, and many state regulations, and have served as the regulatory strategist for several clients.I love animals of all types. When not working or enjoying time with my pet birds or dogs, I am likely photoraphing a range of subjects including families, newlyweds, nature and wildlife.
