This page is a listing of occurrences of some of my publications, activities, and awards. In this list I include webpages, as well as significant self-published posts. Some of the things here may not fit neatly into a category. I maintain this primarily for personal reasons, but have kept it public in case anyone is interested.
Bio
Geographer - Photographer - Caver
Caving is a way to see the Earth from the inside out. Rocks and water have a story to tell; like a detective, the curious can tease out its story by carefully reading clues. I try to retain childlike curiosity and wonder for the amazing world we live in. There are so many wonderful things to know and so many amazing stories to tease out from the landscape!
I love learning from and working with other scientists. They all see the world in different ways. The geographer in me likes to form a larger holistic picture from these experiences. As much as I love learning, I love to share. A big part of that is getting people excited about caves and caving. It is the most accessible form of "frontier exploration" to humans.
I have been lucky to be well published. Highlights include my photography having been used by ABC, BBC, and the Discovery Channel. More than that, my work appears in such places as academic journals, music videos, international and local news, noteworthy lectures, books, magazines, and websites.
Professionally I work at the Upper Cumberland Development District as the Director of Informatics. I manage GIS and data projects, and am used as a resource by all staff at the UCDD and UCHRA as well as community members.
