I am the director of the Seals Lab for Quantitative Science and co-director of the Computational Geomorphology & Modeling Lab at the University of West Florida.

I am an applied statistician (formally trained in biostatistics) and am happy to collaborate with others that need statistical support. Please see either lab website for more information about collaborating with me and/or my students.
