He/Him
I am bisexual and I am a marine biologist.//
I serve as the Aquarium Conservation Partnership’s Conservation Policy Manager. I’m mainly responsible for advancing ACP’s conservation policy goals and working closely with ACP members (32 AZA accredited Aquariums) to develop strategies and opportunities for policy action. I have shared the science and stories of the world’s favorite ocean places with an international audience and like to engage in diverse and sometimes unconventional communication experiences. This has evolved into a passion for communicating scientific topics to a broader audience and using that to build partnerships between communities, advocacy groups, and government representatives. I have a bachelor’s degree in marine science from the University of South Carolina and a master’s in marine biology from Northeastern University. Currently living in the mermaid city of Norfolk Virginia, used to be avid diver (I miss it!!) and I try to make people laugh at the local comedy theater on the weekends.
