Education

Research Interests

My interests are artificial fishing reefs (finfish-reef interaction and fishing productivity); hook-release mortality in marine recreational fisheries; bycatch reduction in commercial and recreational fisheries; and recreational angler tagging programs.

Current Projects

• Release mortality rate in the recreational fishery for summer flounder
• Release mortality rate in the recreational fishery for tautog
• Assisting with writing of Virginia Artificial Reef Plan
