Own A & D Tree Service

Has been on an assignment to Southern California since March, 2010 acting as the Environmental Compliance Manager for a 1+ billion dollar wind energy project near Tehachapi-Mojave.

I graduated with my MLIS – Archival Studies from San Jose State University last month (December 2010). I am currently employed with the National Park Service at the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area in Southern California.

Nearing the end of my real estate career in the greater Sacramento area. I live on two acres in Auburn with my wife and two Collies. I visited the HSU campus in May 2010, and I participate with the TKE alumni group. College days at HSU were some of the best of my lifetime.

I'm currently applying for Ph.D. programs and helping out my community by volunteering. I'm a library volunteer at the Eureka branch. I assist with the English and Spanish story times by reading books and helping the children and parents with the weekly crafts. I also volunteer at Sacred Heart Church as a religious education instructor for 7th and 8th grade students.

I won a two year NOAA NERR graduate fellowship to develop a project working on Gull-billed tern foraging movements and diet at The Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve.

I've been a graduate student in Geology at Caltech since I finished at HSU. I was just last week officially promoted to Ph.D. Candidate! I hope to finish my Ph.D. up in the next couple of years.
