Map to my office
I come to ISER with over 30 years of professional experience as a resource economist, biologist and researcher, much of this in the private sector as a consultant. I researched energy options for the Alaska State Legislature in the 1980s including analyses of Bradley Lake, electrical interties, Healy Clean Coal, Power Cost Equalization, demand side efficiency improvements, weatherization and least cost energy analyses. As the Alaska State Tourism Director in the late 1990s, I directed the Alaska Department of Community and Economic Development tourism office as well as the community and business development and research sections.
My principal research interests include energy and natural resource economics, tourism and recreation, and community development. I have worked extensively with small communities, Native tribal organizations, and local and Federal government.
