I am an associate professor at Weber State University, where I have been teaching since 2016. I am a field geologist who specializes in sedimentology and tectonics. My work combines sedimentology, structural geology, geochemistry, and geo-thermochronology of integrated basement and source to sink systems to reconstruct regional geologic histories, with an emphasis on Cordilleran-style mountain systems.
