I specialize in conservation landscaping, native plants, invasive plant management, plant identification, environmental education, natural resources, and wildlife management.
Outside of work I'm actively involved in the Maryland Native Plant Society, Maryland Invasive Species Council, Maryland Chapter of the Sierra Club, Maryland-Delaware Chapter of The Wildlife Society, Anacostia Watershed Community Advisory Committee, and other environmental groups.
I'm particularly passionate about the ecology of Maryland's Coastal Plain and the Mid-Atlantic region in general, always learning.
