My research interests include quantifying and projecting forest and wildlife habitat characteristics and trends through various statistical modeling techniques; adapting these models to new locations, variables and constraints; compiling and managing large forest and/or natural resources inventory databases; using Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) data to answer pertinent natural resource questions; developing software for rapid application of research results; conducting general forest and natural resources inventory and analysis; and assisting researchers from a variety of disciplines with statistical and quantitative facets of their respective studies.  My research emphasizes practical application of the results to the forestry and related natural resources community as a whole and in particular those stakeholders responsible for implementing forest management.
