Hi! I’m David —
A Wisconsin born, globally minded, environmental scientist and communicator, my efforts focus on helping communities, agencies, and organizations understand how environmental contamination disperses and impacts ecosystems and public health.
I'm currently employed as an Associate at Industrial Economics Inc. and hold a PhD from University of Colorado Boulder in Mechanical Engineering in which I focused on the intersection of Atmospheric Chemistry, Environmental Modeling, and Public Health.
I assemble data, perform research, and conduct analyses that reveal the trends and costs of a polluted environment and work to provide clear insights for how we can balance environmental externalities with our progress towards creating a thriving, and productive society.

"Optimism is seeing challenges as opportunities to make progress; it’s having the
confidence that there are things we can do to make a difference.
We can shape the future, and we can build a great one if we want to."
