Sustainable Food From The Sea

I currently serve as the Director of Oceans and Aquaculture for the Kashia Band of Pomo Indians.  I'm also a Research Scientist at the UC Davis Coastal and Marine Sciences Institute.   I work with diverse coalitions of stakeholders, including aquaculture businesses, coastal tribes, academics and government scientists whose many interests have defined the core goal of my career in science: integration between the conservation of biological diversity and the sustainable development and expansion of aquatic food systems.

​About Me
When not at work, you can find me on stage performing with musical artists in Sonoma County, hiking and surfing the north coast, or with my head down in the garden cultivating home grown fruits and veggies. Living the good life!
