I am a field Ecologist and Botanist for the WV Natural Heritage Program. This season will be my 25th doing field ecology and botany work in WV. I began my career during my Sophomore year of college as a field tech for the Monongahela National Forest. After several seasons I started doing consulting work but found it unfulfilling. So when I got a chance to work on a project doing a floristic inventory and community classification for the WV Heritage Program I jumped at the opportunity. Since then I am a full time member of the Heritage staff and have settled into possibly the coolest job ever. Now during the growing season, I along with my colleague Jim Vanderhorst, get to wander through the WV hillsides looking at plants and plant communities.
