Biography

Originally from Virginia, I joined the South Dakota Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit in 1999 and currently serve as the Unit Leader. My research interests include feeding ecology and energetics of fishes. Before joining the South Dakota Coop Unit, I worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center for Aquatic Ecology at the University of Illinois.
