I work on the program staff at the Greater Yellowstone Coalition. My main focus is research and study of the ecological, social and political aspects of diseases in wildlife and livestock (tuberculosis, chronic wasting disease, brucellosis and paratuberculosis). I also work on wolf recovery issues in the Northern Rockies, and the budding rush to explore for coal bed methane in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. GYC's primary focus is preserving and protecting the natural resources of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.
