Welcome to my homepage!

My interest in the environment and sustainability goes back to my farm roots in Bruce County, Ontario. All of my degrees are in Geography, a discipline that I love for its breadth. I completed my undergraduate degree at Wilfrid Laurier University and an M.Sc. (Climatology) at University of Calgary. In the early 1980s, I worked with the Alberta Transportation Department as a road safety analyst, and then I returned to Ontario to complete a PhD at University of Waterloo. I have been a faculty member with University of Waterloo since 1989.

I enjoy teaching, and am honoured to have been recognized by my students and peers through various teaching awards:

•  Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations Teaching Award 2004
•  Canadian Association of Geographers Award for Excellence in Teaching Geography 2000
•  University of Waterloo Distinguished Teacher Award 1995

I regularly teach three undergraduate courses:

•  On Becoming a Geographer (Geography 100, co-taught with I. McKenzie)
•  Introduction to Environmental Research Methods (ENVS 178)
•  Geography of Transportation (Geog 351)
