Class Schedule and Office Hours   Geography/GIS at VC


I am one of three full-tme faculty teaching the "Geo" courses at Ventura. The other faculty members are Luke Hall and Bill Budke. A number of part-time faculty, also help teach the courses in Geography/Geology/GIS. I currently teach Physical Geography, World Regional Geography and a couple of the Geographic Information Systems courses. I also teach our new Introduction to Envrornmental Science course (ESRM V02).

This is my eleventh year at Ventura college.  In the Spring Semester of 2006 I was able to take a 4-month sabbatical in New Zealand. I was a sabbatical visitor at the University of Auckland's School of Geography and Envionrmental Science.

All through the 1990s, I taught or helped teach a number of different courses at Santa Barbara City College and UCSB.  These included: Cultural Geography, Economic Geography, Physical Geography, Physical Geography Lab, Environmental Studies: The Physical Earth; Solar Energy and the Environment, Introduction to Mapping and GIS, and GIS: Software Applications.

I worked for the National Center for Geographic Information and Analysis at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) from 1991-1999 primarily as the Education Projects Manager.
