Biography
I am originally from Northern California and earned a B.S. in Wildlife Biology from Colorado State University. I have worked on many carnivore projects and now my research at NMSU focuses on mountain lion-mule deer interactions in central New Mexico. My other hobbies include climbing, snowboarding, hunting, cooking and banjo.
