Some Background

I’m an Associate Professor hired to study wetland wildlife ecology. I’m happy to work in Louisiana where wetlands are larger, more abundant, and managed (not only protected) more than elsewhere. You can see my CV for details, but briefly… I worked for Ron D. DeLaune at LSU’s Wetland Biogeochemistry Institute from 1989 to 1994, and earned a Ph.D. in 1993 with a major in Oceanography and Coastal Sciences under the direction of William H. Patrick, Jr. In 1994, I declined a tenure-track position way up north and took a completely self-funded research position in the Biology Department at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. In January of 2001, I returned to LSU as an Assistant Professor with a research/teaching split of 60/40 (the Louisiana State University Agricultural Center provides 60% of the salary whereas Louisiana State University provides 40% of the salary). In July of 2006, I was tenured and promoted to Associate Professor.

Personal History:

Born 13 May 1960 in Hattiesburg, Mississippi; raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. Married and the father of an 17-year-old girl and a 13-year-old boy.
