I enjoy most things outdoors, particularly hunting, fishing (fresh and salt), and camping with my family. I serve as an adult volunteer with Boy Scout Troop 1 in Athens. My family enjoys following sports, particularly college football and baseball. We are involved in a number of ways at Athens First United Methodist Church (http://www.athensfirstumc.org/).

Courses
FANR 1100: Natural Resource Conservation, Introduction to the general principles and contemporary issues related to ecology and management of wildlife, fish, forests, and rangelands; natural resources recreation and tourism; conservation of water, wetlands, and soil resources; and renewable and non-renewable energy. Students will acquire the knowledge necessary to advance beyond the simplistic portrayal of environmental dilemmas offered by mass media and gain a firmer basis for environmental stewardship, responsible citizenship, and action on environmental issues. Offered fall, spring, and summer semesters every year.
(Spring Fall)
FANR 4500: Senior Project in Forest Resources Management, This is our capstone resource management class. Each spring semester Dr. Karl Miller and I collaborate in facilitating this course. Undergraduate students form teams and prepare a resource management plan for an actual landowner or client on a piece of property that they own or control.
(Spring Yearly)
FORS 4650: Forestry Field Camp, I collaborated with other forestry faculty to help with this three-week summer camp taught during our Maymester term. During the week when I serve as primary instructor, we visit active forest harvesting and mill operations across the Southeast.
(Summer Yearly)
FORS 5720: Forest Harvesting and Roads, Forestry majors are required to take this course that introduces them to the equipment and systems used to harvest timber. They also learn how to estimate production rates and costs of harvesting systems and become familiar with the myriad of laws and regulations that affect these operations. At the end of the semester students prepare a harvest plan for future timber sale on an actual forest property.
(Fall Yearly)
FORS 7900: Forest Operations Management and Planning, This is a graduate course designed for students with interests in forest business. It introduces students to management science concepts such as mathematical programming, simulation, queuing, and inventory control that they then use to tackle case studies of forest business situations.
(Spring Odd)
FORS 8020: Biomass Seminar, This is a graduate course designed for students in any major with interests in biomass use.
(Spring Yearly)
