I am a Professor of Geography and the Interim Department Chair for the Department of Geography and Planning at Appalachian State University, located in Boone, North Carolina, in the Southern Appalachian Mountains. As a broadly trained Physical Geographer my interests are in fluvial and coastal geomorphology, hydrology, and field applications of geospatial technologies. Please use the links at the top of this page to learn more about my professional interests, my teaching and research experience, as well as a little bit more about me and my extra-curricular interests.
