I am a multidisciplinary researcher with experience in open-source investigation, public health, ballistics, and climate science. Through my work, I strive to leverage scientific principles as a means of advocating for the public good.
My primary line of work addresses the public health impact of less-lethal weapons, with a particular emphasis on risk management in crowd control settings. I have published on the ballistics of impact projectiles in Chile, on injuries to the head during the 2020 George Floyd protests, and as co-author on a systematic review of health impacts of less-lethal weapons.
My academic research as a glacial geologist uses earth science to decipher climate change throughout the Pleistocene and Holocene. My peer-reviewed literature combines field mapping, remote sensing, and numerical dating to address the response of Patagonian glaciers and their response to shifting modes of climate variability.
I work as an outdoor professional and have extensive experience as an outdoor educator and guide. I teach backcountry skills, navigation, and bicycle maintenance, and lead multiday backpacking, rock climbing, sea kayaking, and mountain biking programs.
I am an avid backcountry hunter and devoted husband and father.
