Biography:

My past research has included systems analysis and its application to integrated pest management and applied ecology. As the W. K. Kellogg Foundation Endowed Chair in Agricultural Ecosystems Management from 2006 - 2021, I provided interdisciplinary leadership for scientists in many disciplines devoted to simultaneous ecological, economic and social improvements in agricultural ecosystems, toward advancements in agroecosystem health and sustainable communities (http://amp.osu.edu). From 2014 – 2021, I also served as the Faculty Director for the Initiative for Food and AgriCultural Transformation at Ohio State (http://discovery.osu.edu/focus-areas/infact/), which seeks transformational solutions to resilient and sustainable food security in Ohio, the nation and the world. Building on 18 new faculty hires across the University, the initiative facilitates teamwork among over 150 Ohio State faculty affiliates and 170 partnering organizations to improve food security with a foundation in healthy agroecosystems, circular economies and equity-focused food cultures.

Teaching:
My teaching has included systems analysis and quantitative methods in environmental research, and occasionally special topics in agroecosystems science. Together with Agroecosystems Management Program colleagues, we have established an Associate of Science and Bachelor of Science majors in Sustainable Agriculture (BS launching Autumn semester 2021), and a Specialization in Agroecosystems Science in the Environmental Sciences Graduate (https://amp.osu.edu/education/sustainable-agriculture-education-offerings-osu). I lead a statewide network for Sustainable Agriculture education, connecting certificate, associate and baccalaureate programs across five partner institutions (https://amp.osu.edu/osaen).

Signature areas: Environmental Quality and Sustainability; Food Security, Production, and Human Health

My wife (Program Coordinator, USDA) and I have a 27 year old son (Montana State University MS program in Ecology) and a 30 year old daughter (Epic Systems Program Manager), and I make time for soccer, skiing, brewing beer, and Irish sessions (fiddle, low D whistle, banjo).

Recent students: Jane Karetny (MS 2020 in Agroecosystems Science, ESGP, Food Waste Administrator, SWACO), Jennifer Harrison (PhD 2017, ESGP, Buncombe County, NC, Agriculture and Land Resources Director), Hannah Whitehead (MS 2016, ESGP, Univ. of Massachusetts Extension), Jed Stinner (PhD 2016, ESGP, USDA ARS), Fred Reppun (MS 2016 in Agroecosystems Science - ESGP, University of Hawaii National Esturarine Research Reserve), Liz Kolbe (MS 2013 in Agroecosystems Science - ESGP, Practical Farmers of Iowa), Ben Kerrick (MS 2013 in Agroecosystems Science - ESGP, Karp Consulting, NYC)
