I am a retired Forest Service District Ranger, now on the Watershed Research and Training Center Board. I am very interested in Community Forestry, including learning more about how communities in California can learn to live with our fire adapted ecosystems, how to relay the benefits of living in harmony with our environments to our elected officials and community members.

I have 35 years of Forest Service experience including 14 years as a District Ranger. Now I look at how we can improve in our own backyards.
