   intro_statements:
   - I am a Supervisory Research Fish Biologist at the Columbia River Research Laboratory,
     Cook, WA. I began working on fisheries studies in 1998. My research has focused
     on Pacific salmon, dams and ecology in the Pacific Northwest. My expertise includes
     the use of telemetry systems to monitor juvenile and adult salmon and steelhead.
     I currently work on the Columbia, Willamette, and Yakima Rivers.

   personal_statement: My research team conducts investigations into dam passage
     and survival for juvenile and adult Pacific salmon, assesses fish collection
     and passage devices, researches the ecological effects of high-head dams and
     reservoirs on anadromous fish, and evaluates various aspects of salmon and steelhead
     reintroductions upstream of impassable dams.  I am currently working on studies
     that evaluate the effects of flow management on juvenile salmon survival, the
     responses of adult salmon and steelhead to trap-and-haul, assessment of dam-passage
     survival of juvenile salmon, and developing methods to estimate survival of
     salmon fry in reservoirs. My research is highly collaborative. I work closely
     with Tribal, State and Federal partners to provide unbiased science for use
     by a diverse group of stakeholders in several watersheds in the western United
     States.
