<p>When not fighting crime in riverine environments and avoiding having my head detached from my body by public health and animal control authorities, I am a mild-mannered economic geographer. Once upon a time, I taught a mandatory introductory level statistics course to groups of 60 to 90 largely unwilling students, as well as other kinds of descriptive and explanatory quantitative techniques in applied regional analysis. </p>

<p>Nowadays, thanks to declining numbers of students and the hire of a new faculty member, I teach things more closely related to my research interests. </p>

<p>I still have an interest in research methodology generally, though.</p>
