I am a PhD student in Geosciences at Idaho State University. I'm interested in sagebrush biome conservation, data science and machine learning, Uncrewed Aerial Systems, and Geographic Information Systems.
My dissertation involves identifying environmental indicators of Greater Sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) migration and modeling fine-scale qualities of sage-grouse habitat in southeast Idaho. To accomplish this research, I combine GPS positional data, UAS imagery, GIS, and Artificial Intelligence to gather and analyze data.
In my free time, I enjoy being a husband and father of three. I love using my background in ecology (and general outdoors “dad knowledge”) to expose my kids to the amazing world around them.
