Dallas TX 75275-0395, USA I grew up in Omaha,
Nebraska, with aspirations of being an all-American collegiate linebacker for
the Nebraska Cornhuskers. That didn’t work out, so I got my B.S. in Geology at
the University of Nebraska, Lincoln. After completing my M.S. and Ph.D. degrees
at the University of California, Davis, I took a post-doctoral research position
at Southern Methodist University in 2002. The post-doctoral experience went very
well. I am now an assistant professor in the Department of Geological Sciences
at Southern Methodist University. My research interests
primarily focus on paleoenvironmental reconstruction from lithostratigraphic and
chemostratigraphic records of terrestrial rocks. I am especially interested in
the morphology and chemistry of soil formation in both modern and ancient
settings. When I am not working, I like gardening and hanging out with my best
friend and wife, Meredith. |
