I received my Ph.D. in Fisheries Biology from the University of Washington in 1975 and currently am the Principal Biologist for Columbia Biological Assessments. I am also an Adjunct Professor of Biological Sciences at Washington State University Tri-Cities, Richland, Washington. I am a Certified Fisheries Professional and have extensive experience assessing the ecological risks from discharges of contaminants to surface waters on sensitive aquatic species and their habitats. I also have substantive local knowledge, having studied the fate of stormwater residuals in both Miller and Des Moines Creeks for the Airport Communities Coalition (ACC), an organization composed of the Cities of Burien, Des Moines, Federal Way, Normandy Park and Tukwila and the Highline School District.
