​

​This is my second go around as a NMFWA Board Member and I am excited to be a part of this organization.  I am a Natural Resources Specialist at NAS Patuxent River, where I have worked since 1997.  My program responsibilities include the Bird/Animal Aircraft Strike Hazard (BASH) program, hunting and fishing programs, and environmental education. I have also been a volunteer hunter safety instructor since 2000.  I am a 1995 Graduate of Virginia Tech in Wildlife and Fisheries Management.  I moved to Maryland in 1985 where my father finished his last tour in the Navy and where I volunteered for the same office that I now work.  My ten year old twins, Jake and Sadie, keep my wife Kristin and I very busy.  I also enjoy hunting and working with my four legged hunting companion.
