Since his arrival in January 1994 Brian has become actively involved in teaching watershed and GIS classes along with numerous other projects. Aside from his teaching duties, Brian is collecting digital weather data, coordinating flume construction at Swanton Pacific, and studying erosion and water quality in the Morro Bay Watershed.

He attended Bloomsburg University and in 1980 he earned his bachelor's degree. In 1982, Brian completed his masters program in watershed management at the University of Arizona. He earned his doctorate in forest hydrology at Penn State University in 1994.
