Research Interests
An entomologist by training but a herpetologist at heart, my primary passion involves landscape-level conservation biology. I am consulted as a Forensic Entomologist and regularly provide my services to law enforcement and wildlife agencies. Research interests include biodiversity studies and decomposition ecology.
