Monitoring Program Manager/Acoustics Team Lead

*NOAA Fisheries* November 2001 to present

Oversees a team of scientists charged with providing the acoustic
assessments of commercially- and ecologically-valuable fisheries off the
west coast of North America, which includes the U.S. portion of an
established joint U.S.-Canadian Pacific hake survey program. These
regular assessments are key to estimation of fish stock size and act as
the foundation of advice on international harvest levels. Related
research will focus on development and application of fishery acoustic
techniques to evaluate and to improve fish stock assessment.

Leader, Lake Michigan Section March 1998 to November 2001

*USGS - Great Lakes Science Center*

*Ann Arbor, MI*

Directed a team of scientists, technical staff, and research vessel crew
in the application of modern principles and procedures of fishery
science to characterize the fish community of Lake Michigan. Responsible
for the coordination and supervision of studies that focus on evaluation
of the performance of various strains of hatchery- reared lake trout as
part of lake trout restoration, predator-prey interactions, and
population dynamics of the prey fish community in Lake Michigan. Also,
coordinated a multi-agency acoustics survey program in Lake Michigan
made possible through the granting of funds for acquisition of several
acoustic systems. The common goal of these research efforts is to
quantify the population dynamics of important fish stocks leading to a
better understanding of the processes that shape the fish community and
to identify those characteristics critical to each species to support
their wise use and management.

Fisheries Research Biologist, Lake Huron Section June 1989 - March 1998

*USGS - Great Lakes Science Center*

*Ann Arbor, MI*

Staff research biologist responsible for planning and completion of
annual vessel-based surveys and contributor to analyses of population
trends of various species of fish in Lake Huron. Acted as
Biologist-in-charge and guided biological and vessel operations on
research cruises. Much of my research efforts were directed at a
six-year, inter-agency sponsored project involved in the implementation
of acoustics as a tool for assessment of fish stocks in Lake Michigan. I
was assigned coordinator and contributor to fisheries resource reports
involving treaty-based Native American fishing in the 1836-ceded waters
of the upper Great Lakes. The common goal of these efforts is to
quantify the population dynamics of important fish stocks leading to a
better understanding of the processes that shape the fish community in
order to support their wise use and management. I was also involved in
several field research teams that have traveled to Lake Baikal (Siberia)
as part of cooperative scientific exchange of large-lake ecological
research between the Buryat Institute of Biology, Siberian Division of
the Russian Academy of Sciences, and the Great Lakes Science Center.

Consultant Jan 1989 - May 1989

*Dept. of Fisheries and Oceans, Sea Lamprey Control Centre*

*Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario*

Provided expertise in computer data modeling and provided statistical
consultation and design of stream surveys for larval sea lampreys.

Fisheries Research Scientist Nov 1984 - Dec 1988

*COTFMA, Inter-Tribal Fisheries and Assessment Program*

Conducted commercial fishery assessment and analyses for tribal fishery
management and development of total allowable catch levels in 1836-ceded
waters of the upper Great Lakes. Tribal representative and contributor
to multi-agency, tri-partite fishery assessment and management
documents.

Field Research Technician Jan 1982 - Nov 1984

*Michigan State University, Dunbar Research Station*

Conducted field and laboratory environmental baseline studies of the St.
Mary's River system in regard to assessment of environmental impacts of
winter navigation. Soft-funded project under contract to U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service and U. S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Fish Biologist (seasonal) July-November 1981

*Wyoming Game and Fish Department*

I assisted in instream flow methodology studies to compare techniques in
several Wyoming streams. Field work involving stream mapping, flow
determinations, fish habitat ratings and fish population surveys.

Fish Biologist (seasonal) April - Nov 1978

*Wyoming Game and Fish Department*

Primarily responsible for operation of fish planting barge used to
distribute hatchery-reared salmonids. Position was extended to include
the preparation of a report detailing potential impacts on aquatic
habitats by coal strip mining in northeastern Wyoming.

Wildlife Research Assistant (seasonal) May - Nov 1977

*Colorado Division of Wildlife*

Assisted in study of effects of pump-storage power plant on the lake
trout and mysis populations in Twin Lakes, Colorado. Conducted creel
surveys, gill net fish collections and mysid shrimp trawls. Also
involved sonic tagging and SCUBA observations of lake trout.
