I will not be taking on any Graduate Students at this time.
My appointment is primarily with the University of Wisconsin Extension. As a statewide specialist in Wildlife Ecology, I provide support for the network of county agents in Wisconsin. Statewide programs focus on wildlife damage management, urban wildlife management, youth education, and wildlife-based recreation. Delivery methods include Extension publications, workshops, public radio, commercial media, displays, video, and other forms of distance education as well as one-on-one assistance.
The remainder of my university appointment is devoted to teaching, research, service, and more recently administration. I teach WE301 (Natural History of Terrestrial Vertebrates) spring semester and assist with WE100 and Farm and Industry Short Course. My research interests center on wildlife damage control and wildlife management on private lands. I became Chair of the Department in July of 2000.
