Academic stuff

I’m an Assistant Professor of Global Change in the Integrative Biology Department at the University of South Florida - St. Petersburg. I’m a macroecologist and community ecologist who works across taxa (primarily focusing on plants and terrestrial vertebrates) using both ecological and evolutionary approaches with strong informatics and computational components. I’m a big believer in working collaboratively, which benefits from the integration of diverse perspectives and multiple skill sets.

Non-academic stuff

Outside of work I’m an avid reader (golden age sci-fi, classic literature, philosophy, comic books, etc.) and toy fan (action figures and Legos), and I enjoy a wide variety of music and movies (particularly from the 80s).
