I currently manage the Noxious Weed Control Program and the Native Plant Conservation Program for the Oregon Dept. of Agriculture. I am an avid adventurer with a deep love for exploring the PNW. My professional background is in fisheries, T&E plants, plant community ecology and noxious weeds. Whether in a deep canyon on a wild and scenic river system, lost in the Alvord desert or scaling the granite outcrops of central Idaho, I am most at home outside.
