Senior Heritage Botanist of the Office of Kentucky Nature Preserves. Manager of plant conservation and biological assessment Branch. Kentucky Native Plant Society Board. Coordinator of the Kentucky Plant Conservation Alliance.

I have been a heritage botanist with the Office of Kentucky Nature Preserves since 2006 and currently manage our Plant Conservation and Biological Assessment Branch, where we focus on surveying, monitoring, managing and restoring plants (vascular and non-vascular) and natural communities of conservation concern.

I also have an interest in mushrooms, lichens, spiders, and caterpillars/Lepidoptera and generally anything else I happen to see while exploring. I hope to use Inaturalist to increase my knowledge of other groups of flora and fauna, as well as increasing the scientific communities general knowledge of the diversity, distribution, and conservation status of our flora (and fauna).
