About
I manage InnovationSpace, a product-development program at Arizona State University. This transdisciplinary education and research lab teaches students how to develop products that create market value while serving real societal needs and minimizing impacts on the environment. In fall 2008 we launched a biomimicry initiative as a way to promote greater innovation and sustainability in our students' projects.
 
I'm also a writer who focuses on natural history and environmental issues. I've written hundreds of articles and coauthored Valley of Grass: Tallgrass Prairie and Parkland of the Red River Region, winner of the 1999 Minnesota Book Award for nature writing.  With Minnesota ecologist Chel Anderson, I've coauthored a second book, North Shore: An Ecology of Place, forthcoming from the University of Minnesota Press in 2010. I'm currently working on a new book that explores the ecology of grief.

I make my home at the foot of South Mountain in Phoenix, Arizona, where I share my yard, and sometimes my house, with southern house spiders, scorpions, coyotes, cactus wrens and the occasional javelina.
