Skills & Experience
EnvironmentalAvailability & Capacity
I would like to be contacted as a resource for guidance.Description of Experience
I was a fisheries research biologist with NOAA Fisheries in Panama City, FL, for many years. We conducted studies of marine fishes to provide the necessary data and analyses for good management of those species in the Gulf of Mexico. We also published the results of some of our studies in scientific journals. One of my collateral duties at the lab was community outreach and teaching the public about biology, conservation and resource management.
I don’t have any freshwater fisheries research experience, but I am an avid bass fishermen. I am still learning how to catch trout in Lake Petit but I am interested in all the fishes and waters of Big Canoe.
Past Projects
I believe that I made a significant contribution to the understanding of marine biology by school children while working at the Lab and also volunteering with a local conservation group in Panama City. I would be interested in talking to kids and/or adults in our Big Canoe and surrounding area.
