BIOGRAPHY:
I received a Bachelor's Degree from the University of Colorado at Boulder (CU) (Physical Geography, and Hydrology Certificate) and a Master of Science degree from Colorado State University (CSU) (Watershed Science). I have worked with U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Alpine Hydrology Research Group (AHRG), the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research (INSTAAR), and the U.S. Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station (RMRS). I am currently working as a Senior Hydrometeorologist at Metstat, Inc. My research interest deal with scale and spatial variability in precipitation processes as related to hydrology and hydrometeorology. My research and passion are in modelling the spatial variability in snowpack processes and rainfall as function of terrain parameters and atmospheric energy to better understand and model hydrologic regimes.

Personal Interests:
1)
Snowboarding
2)
Wakeboarding
3) Mountain Biking
4)
Golfing
