Welcome to my webpage. This site currently focuses on my research of glacier change on Mount Hood, as well as sharing some photographs.

Mount Hood

About me: I grew up in Bowling Green, Ohio, and despite (or perhaps because of) living in the flatlands of once-glaciated northwest Ohio, developed a love for the mountains after numerous trips to the Colorado Rockies, California, and the desert southwest. I attended college at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio, graduating with a B.S. in environmental geography. In addition to obtaining a degree from such a prestigious institution (the oldest university west of the Appalachians), I also gathered no less than nine good "buddies" I still call friends today. I completed my Master's degree in glaciology at Portland State University in Portland, Oregon in 2007. After a few years in Boulder, Colorado where I worked for Microsoft's Bing Maps, I now live in Denver and work for Ocean Imaging as a GIS/Remote Sensing Analyst. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my fiancée Jen(ny) and our three dogs, skiing, a good beer, and any activity that allows me to combine beer with playing shortstop.
