Biography

I am originally from Mt. Vernon Indiana, attended University of Evansville in Indiana (BS Science Education), then Ph.D. at University of Washington in Seattle. I managed the inland fish research program at Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife for almost 10 yrs. before coming to the USGS Arizona Coop Unit. My areas of expertise are desert fish management and biology, fisheries sampling methods, communication in natural resources, management of introduced species, habitat use and instream flow requirements for fishes. I was President of the American Fisheries Society in 2019-2020; and am also Past-President of the Western Division of the American Fisheries Society. I am lead editor and author on three books, one a North American standard fish sampling program for freshwater fishes that involved hundreds of authors, data providers and sponsors from across North America and another that is the second edition. Another was a book on skills for working with people for natural resources professionals that the journal Ecology called a "must read". I have also presented and authored numerous presentations and publications. In 2022, I won the Award of Excellence from the Fish Management Section of the American Fisheries Society. I really enjoying working with fish managers and administrators on practical problems in fisheries management or human dimensions.
