Sustainability Superheros

With a doctorate in organizational psychology, I’ve applied behavioral science in all three types of settings: government, commercial, and non-profit. I’ve held roles ranging from front-line employee to executive as well as outside consultant and trainer.

I am a local landscape architect and musician that has been practicing in San Diego for over 46 years. 36 of those years have been with my own firm. Moving here in 1955, when I was 3 years old, allowed me to grow up seeing our physical environment change, sometimes for the better, sometimes not.

I am a retired University of Illinois professor. My research and teaching involved ecosystem ecology, ecological restoration, invasion biology, sustainable agriculture, carbon sequestration, resource conservation, environmental stewardship, air pollution impacts, and place-based learning.
