EXPERIENCE

1. Position Title: Regional Wildlife Ecologist (GS-0408/0486-13)Location: U. S. Forest Service, Eastern Region, Milwaukee, WI Years: 2001 - present. Hours: 40 hrs/week.Salary: $98,143/yrSupervisor: Paul Momper (may contact; see reference list)

As Regional Wildlife Ecologist, I provide programmatic guidance to field units with respect to wildlife habitat and population issues. I analyze potential effects of management on species of concern and biodiversity by developing models, monitoring protocols and research needs. I am the regional contact for the Natural Resource Information System Application which serves as the primary information storage and planning tool for wildlife data. I respond proactively to developing issues by investigating ecological needs of species and communities that may be affected by management and development trends (e.g., wind energy production and bats, Northern Goshawk distribution and changes in land-use patterns). I am responsible for maintaining and developing the Region’s list of Regional Forester Sensitive Species; overseeing risk evaluations, conservation assessments, and conservation strategies. I provide technical input to Forest plan amendments. I am currently: 1) developing a comprehensive conservation frame work for reptiles and amphibians of the eastern United States; 2) collecting and analyzing data on 200 species of vertebrates and applying the results to various climate change models with the goal of producing species or guild-specific management recommendations for conservation; 3) cross-scale effects of wildlife clearings on biodiversity.

Temporary Assignment: Provided bird expertise on U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service expedition to the remote Navassa Island National Wildlife Refuge from October 8 – Oct 14, 2006, under leadership of Joeseph Schwagerl, Refuge Manager, Caribbean Islands NWR Complex (P.O Box 510 Boqueron, PR 00622 Phone: 787.851.7258). My extensive experience in tropical birds (from Peace Corps, see below) and my advanced understanding of viability, endangered species conservation and monitoring design was crucial to the success of the excursion.

2. Position Title: Research Ecologist (GS-0408/11)Location: Biological Resources Division, Office of the Chief Biologist-Eastern Region, Florida Caribbean Science Center, Gainesville, Florida. Years: 1998 – 2001Hours: 40 hrs/week.Salary: $38,593/yrSupervisor: Dr. Jim Williams (may contact; see reference list)

As a Research Ecologist in the Biodiversity Branch of the center, I performed invasive species risk analysis and analysis of natural communities in South Florida with the goal of developing a series of predictive models that will: 1) allow managers to identify the potential threat of various non-indigenous species by developing predictive models based on intrinsic and extrinsic factors; and 2) identify which natural communities in south Florida are at risk of invasion by non-indigenous species. To achieve these goals I used parametric and non-parametric multivariate statistics, data from various sources, literature searches, and personal communications with experts in the field. I also provided input to other work being carried on at the center, attend workshops and meetings, and generate reports, memos, and peer-reviewed research papers.

3. Position Title: Post-doctoral Research AssociateLocation: The Institute for Environmental Modeling, Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Tennessee.Years: 1998Hours: 20 hours/week.Salary: $17,500/yrSupervisor: Dr. Louis Gross (may contact; see reference list)

I helped develop and interpret the outputs of complex spatially-explicit and individual-based ecological models used to predict the effects of various hydrologic scenarios on critical wildlife species of the southern Florida ecosystem. My position entailed developing input criteria, running spatially and temporally explicit models, and interpreting the results in an ecologically-sound fashion. I developed the habitat >rules= that were used in the models of the Cape Sable seaside-sparrow (Endangered), snail kite (Endangered), white-tailed deer, and various wading bird species. In successfully performing my tasks I drew on my knowledge of landscape ecology and of wetlands ecology, especially as it pertained to the Everglades. I worked closely with a diverse staff and met tight deadlines for deliverables.

4. Position Title: Senior Research AssistantLocation: Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Tennessee.Years: 1997 - 1998Hours: 20 hours/week Salary: $12,000/yrSupervisor: Dr. Daniel Simberloff (may contact; see reference list)

I assisted Dr. Simberloff in data management, statistical analysis, and administrative duties concerning his work as Nancy Gore Hunger Chair of Environmental Science. My position entailed acting as an assistant editor for numerous scientific journals and applying my knowledge of statistics, ecology and computers, especially as it pertained to the ecological and evolutionary consequences of non-native species invasions.

5. Position Title: Graduate Research AssistantLocation: Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and Math Department, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Tennessee.Years: 1992 - 1997 Hours: 50 hours/week Salary: variableSupervisor: Dr. Stuart Pimm (may contact; see reference list)

I investigated the relationship between the abundance and variability of populations through time and across space using data from the Breeding Bird Survey. I was instrumental in the design of a five-year project to study the ecology of the Endangered Cape Sable seaside sparrow in Everglades National Park. I collected and analyzed data on all aspects of the sparrow's ecology. This included designing and conducting point surveys, establishment of permanent study plots, designing and conducting feeding and breeding behavior surveys, and parametric and non-parametric statistical analyses. I developed models of the sparrow population's response to fire and artificial hydrologic regimes. Furthermore, I collected and analyzed population data and produced estimates of the probability of extinction of separate populations. I published the results of this work in a number of scientific papers. In another project, I developed estimates of the pre-historic Pacific avifauna by comparing the known distribution of birds to the distribution expected by applying island biogeography theory. This work entailed exhaustive literature reviews to determine the ecology, status, and distribution of extant and extinct species of rails, parrots, and pigeons. I also investigated ecologically important physical parameters such as tsunamis and sea-level change.

6. Position Title: Visiting Research AssistantLocation: Centre for Population Biology, Imperial College at Silwood Park, Ascot, United KingdomYears: 1994 - 1995Hours: 50 hours/weekSalary: $1,000/monthSupervisor: Dr. John Lawton

I worked closely with Dr. Kevin Gaston and others to investigate dynamic abundance-range size relationships and the spatial and temporal dynamics of rare versus common species. I devised new analytical methods and applied them to actual population data of birds. I attended weekly seminars, contributed to graduate classes, and interacted with staff and visiting scientists from around the world.

7. Position Title: Graduate Teaching AssistantLocation: Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Tennessee.

Years: 1992 - 1997 (intermittently)Hours: 20 hours/weekSalary: $6,500/yrSupervisor: Various supervisors

I taught four semesters of General Biology laboratory (BIOL 110 and BIOL 120) . I also assisted Dr. Stuart Pimm in teaching Field Ornithology (ZOOL 475) for two semesters and General Ecology (BIOL 230) for one semester. I wrote lesson plans, taught classes, made assignments, and administered exams. For the field ornithology class I was responsible for the logistics and financial arrangements obligate for an extended (10-day) field trip. I kept regular office hours, assisted students in their research projects, and promoted understanding and appreciation of biology in general, and ecology in particular.

8. Position Title: Wildlife Technician (GS-0404/6)Location: South Florida Research Center, Everglades National Park, Homestead, FL.Years: 1988 - 1992Hours: 40 hours/weekSalary: $21,684/yrSupervisor: Dr. William B. Robertson, Jr.

My primary responsibility was in devising and carrying out field work as part of the Endangered Species Monitoring Project. I conducted surveys of bald eagle and sea turtle nesting activity on foot, with small boats, and with aircraft. I also performed aerial surveys of manatee and American crocodile distribution. I conducted a three-year study of bald eagle feeding habits and a one year study of breeding birds in a habitat dominated by the exotic Brazilian pepper. I have also worked on a mark and recapture study of American crocodiles and an intensive study of the Florida panther, including capture, radio-tagging, and aerial tracking. I conducted extensive theoretical analyses on a long-term (31 year) dataset of bald eagle population dynamics and reproductive effort. I performed spatial and temporal analyses of nesting efforts and reproductive success using GIS and standard statistical methods to determine the stability of the population. I logged hundreds of hours in low-level aerial flights. I conducted research in isolated areas that I reached via power boat, canoe, or helicopter. I designed and conducted three breeding bird surveys, two of which followed the North American Breeding Bird Survey protocol. My final project with the Park Service was the development of a long-term study of the Cape Sable seaside-sparrow. I continued this project as a graduate student at the University of Tennessee. The project included extensive surveys, using helicopters for transportation, mist-netting, marking birds, and monitoring nesting activity. I have been trained in aircraft safety (National Park Service) and I have a sub-permit for capturing and banding birds.

Years: 1996 - 1997Hours: 50 hours/weekSalary: $4,000/yrSupervisor: Mohamad Hamdallye

I was responsible for developing and conducting wildlife monitoring programs in two national parks - Parc du "W" in the Sahelian region of the country and the Réserve Naturelle Nationale de l'Aïr et de Ténère in the Saharan region. I made short survey excursions on foot or on motorcycle. I planned and directed longer excursions of up to five days into the Saharan Desert using caravans of Land Rovers. My field work focused on the status and distribution of endangered species including the African elephant, the Scimitar-horned Oryx, and the Addax. I also monitored levels of cattle grazing and hunting within park boundaries. I managed a controlled-burning program and a water-hole development project in Parc du "W". I was an active member of the community, developing a natural history museum in Tapoa. I interacted daily with park staff and other government officials, communicating in French - the dominant language of the country. I reported my results to the Government of Niger and to the World Wildlife Fund, which funded a large part of the activities in the Sahara.
