Biography 

I am a geographer, a political ecologist, a social theorist, a father, and last but not least, an educator. I have two degrees in geography, but I also studied anthropology and American Indian Studies. My most recent work mixes art, activism, and science around global water issues. Prior to that I have studied fisheries conservation practices and worked  with a number of tribes in the American Southwest doing cultural resource consultation work. If you are from Tucson, you may even know as the sound engineer from some well known concert venues. My present research interests include thinking about the ways that geography and the wider academy reproduce a form of white supremacy, and how art can be used to communicate environmental hazards.
