Conservation Field Botanist for the State Botanical Garden of GA.

I also sprinkle a little contracting work on top here and there - generally botanical survey and monitoring of rare plant species in Georgia and North Carolina - for various state agencies and environmental consulting firms.

I teach courses at SBG: Spring Wildflowers of the GA Piedmont, Introduction to Graminoid ID, and the Natural Communities of Georgia.

B.S. & M.S. Biology - Thesis on differences in taxonomic and phylogenetic diversity within GA coastal plain seepages.

I like sedges. Rhynchospora oligantha is my No. 1. Eleocharis tortilis taught me the fine line between confidence and arrogance. Fuirena reminds me of old friends. And Schoenoplectus feels like home.

What else do you want to know?
