Mesopredator occurrence and relationships with natural and anthropogenic features in an urban area on the Southern High Plains of Texas
Chris is a Lubbock native that grew up on the South Plains and received his Bachelor of Biology from Lubbock Christian University. After working for twenty years in healthcare as a Medical Technologist, he began to transition into the wildlife management field in 2015 when he began working towards a Master of Science at Texas Tech. His thesis covered mesocarnivore occurrence within the city of Lubbock and the relationships with landscape cover and other natural and anthropogenic factors potentially affecting occupancy, and he graduated in 2019. He is currently back with the TCC working towards his doctorate.
