My name is Anthony and I am a researcher, grad student, & work for the University of Illinois Extension as part of the 4-H/Youth Development program staff. I wade in streams, hike, ask lots of questions & try to find the answers! My research interests include the intersection between people & the environment, agricultural sciences, youth development, & scientific interpretation. I do science because I want others to enjoy the outdoors as much as I do & to make the world better for my family. When I'm not researching, you can find me hiking, taking photos, or playing board games.
