The Climate Change Research Center (CCRC) has furthered my goal of working for an organization that strives to better comprehend and assist our understanding of our environment. In my past employment I worked as an environmental consultant designing and building soil and groundwater remediation systems. In 1998 when I came to the CCRC my focus shifted from polluted soil and groundwater to air quality and climate change issues. While working at the CCRC I have been fortunate to travel to Antarctica, Mt. Everest and Greenland recovering ice cores for paleo-climate records. During the last six years my focus has been with working with the AIRMAP program; establishing atmospheric air quality observatories in New Hampshire and building and deploying instrumentation for these sites. The AIRMAP program is a NOAA funded partnership working to provide detailed understanding of the sources of various air pollutants in New England and an ability to predict air quality changes as an addition to daily weather forecasts, and to demonstrate new forecasting technologies. AIRMAP air quality observatories are now located at four sites in New Hampshire and one site in Maine: (1) Appledore Island in the Gulf of Maine, ME , (2) Thompson Farm in Durham, NH , (3) Castle Springs in Moultonborough, NH , (4) the summit of Mt Washington, NH , and the summit of Pack Monadnock in Peterborough, NH. AIRMAP's air quality measurements include approximately 200 parameters using high level research grade instrumentation custom built for the program.

When I'm not working I spend my time enjoying my daughter, son and wife while playing in the outdoors. Hobbies include: hiking, climbing, biking, kayaking, diving and skiing.
