As a native Californian, I hold a Ph.D. in City and Regional Planning from U.C. Berkeley, and a joint J.D.-M.C.R.P. from the U.C. Davis King Hall School of Law and U.C. Berkeley, respectively. My research focuses on national and international management issues where land (and its uses) meets water.
