Profile
My academic background is as a landscape ecologist and conservation biologist and I am active in conservation and management of land and waters. My research group conducts research at the landscape scale to understand multiscale influences on the distribution of wildlife species, conservation planning to prioritize locations for conservation action, and the role that advanced monitoring technology can play in conserving endangered species while protecting local communities. We have conducted research throughout ecoregions of Eastern North America and in the Central Indian Highlands. In South Carolina our work has focused on biodiversity in managed forest systems. I have been a faculty member at Clemson University since 2006 after having moved here from New England.

Extension and Outreach
I provide faculty leadership as Executive Director of the Clemson University Forest, a 19,200 expanse near campus for research and teaching established in the 1930s. It is the largest research and teaching forest connected to a public university campus in the lower 48 states. It is used by faculty in all 13 of Clemson's colleges. Currently, there are over 40 ongoing research projects in biology, ecology, natural resources, engineering, physics, and social sciences. I oversee administration of programs and operations, strategic direction, and integration with academic and public service programs.
As Director of the The Hardscramble Preserve, a 752 Acre Property in Camden SC owned by Clemson University, I have overseen the establishment of a center for environmental education and forest research. Serving the local community with programs for school-aged children, we are integrating graduate level research by Clemson University faculty and students.
