My professional interest and expertise is in development scale landscape architecture projects- a vestige of my private practice experience as a golf course architect and planner/designer of recreational parks. My current research interests include watershed sensitive design and development and protection and restoration of riparian corridors. I hope soon to write about traditional Christian core values as they relate to our discipline and the built environment.

research areas

• Watershed Sensitive Site Design
• Green Infrastructure Planning and Design
• Christian Perspectives on the Profession and the City
