Professor

I am a Professor at Kutztown University with interests in physical geography, meteorology, climatology, and gaming geography.

 

While my training is in the atmospheric sciences and climate modeling, I have recently diverged into geographical education through gaming.  I would identify as a mix of a physical geographer-atmospheric scientist-geography gamer.  I am also involved in undergraduate student research.  Many of my research students have presented at geography conferences.

​

I am originally from the Cleveland, Ohio area but eastern Pennsylvania is now my home.  I started as an undeclared undergraduate, but I knew wanted to get into the science or math field in school.  I made the choice to study atmospheric science because it has a little bit of everything: beauty, power, mystery, intrigue. Over the years in Ohio, I have seen some great weather ranging from oppressive heat waves, heavy lake effect snows, severe thunderstorms, and few tornadoes.

​

I enjoy researching in the atmospheric sciences and eclectic geography subjects while interacting with the great people. I take great joy in teaching students about the wonders within the realm of atmospheric sciences and geography and always make time to be available for them.
