Biography
I am the Leader of the GA Unit and an Adjunct Professor in the Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources. I was trained at Carthage College (BA), Mississippi State University (MS), and the University of Florida (PhD). . Much of my research focuses on broad aspects of the biology, ecology, and management of imperiled fishes or fishes of economic or ecological importance and how such species or assemblages respond to habitat alterations. This work is done primarily in in rivers, reservoirs, and estuaries. . I teach a course in scientific writing and technical communications. I also teach occasional seminars on special problems in fishery science and on the life history of fishes.
