Bridging Transportation Research and Practice
I am a transportation researcher and practitioner, and serve as a Principal Research Analyst specializing in traffic safety and human factors with the Oregon Dept. of Transportation. My doctorate is in Community and Regional Planning at The University of Texas at Austin, where I also earned an Eisenhower Fellowship. I earned AICP certification in 2005 and have maintained it continuously since.
My publications are accessible through Google Scholar. Feel free to email if you lack access through an institution and would like a copy.
Previously, I was a tenured Associate Professor of urban and regional planning at UT-San Antonio, and worked as a researcher and planner with TTI's Planning and Engagement Program, CAMPO, TBG Partners, and Texas Parks & Wildlife Dept.
Outside of work, I enjoy bicycling the foothills surrounding the Willamette Valley.
