Interests:  Currently, the primary focus of my work is the development and implementation of conservation for the Greater sage‐grouse, which the USFWS designated as warranted for protection under the Endangered Species Act in 2010. I also focus on the cooperative development of Avian and Bat Protection Plans and Eagle Conservation Plans in partnership with energy project developers, primarily wind farms. I am part of a USFWS team that is processing the first programmatic golden eagle take permits for wind projects in the country. In addition to wind energy, the team works on geothermal, ocean energy and transmission projects, and influencing and developing national policy. I also serve on the team of instructors for the national wind energy guidelines training and webinar series.
