I regularly advise students, residents, landscape architects, planners, engineers, and local officials on topics related to landscape ecology, environmental planning/design, ecological restoration, and water sensitive site planning, design and development. I worked as a planner/designer for the US Forest Service Johnson, Johnson & Roy (an interdisciplinary environmental, landscape architecture, engineering and land planning firm) and Pollack Design Associates (landscape architecture/ planning).Ĭommunity service-learning projects at Virginia Tech and Kansas State University (including the awardwinning KSU-ISC Rain-Garden Project and several other design-build projects) have been a significant part of my focus as a scholar and educator. I received a BLA from the Department of Landscape Architecture & Environmental Planning at Utah State University in Logan, Utah and an MLA from the School of Natural Resources & Environment at The University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I have worked in both public and private practice, and of particular note, led work on the following planning/design efforts: Ecological Restoration and Construction Administration at Furstenberg Nature Park in Ann Arbor, Michigan the Sustainable Development of Forestlands Project in Southwest Virginia and Tom’s Creek Riparian Restoration Project in Blacksburg, Virginia and the Kansas State University Stormwater Management Project (ongoing).
