Bio:
I'm a broadly trained geographer with interests in the spatial aspects of all the social sciences. My doctoral dissertation looked at food deserts in rural areas of the Midwest, and my master's thesis compared the spatial characteristics of punk rock bands from different parts of the country. In addition to teaching geography at NVC, I'm a performing musician who likes to play everything from punk rock and country music.
