David joined CTT in 2019 where he now helps clients around the globe design and implement a cutting-edge wildlife tracking infrastructure, and deploy the next generation of tracking technology. David comes to CTT after five years as Director of New Jersey Audubon’s Cape May Bird Observatory (http://birdcapemay.org), where his responsibilities included monitoring migration at one of the world’s most important migration concentration points, with long-term research of raptor, waterbird, songbirds and butterfly migration engrained in the DNA of the observatory. Over the last 17 years David has conducted research on endangered species management of the Cape Sable Seaside Sparrow, fire ecology of the Florida Everglades, the use of radar to quantify stopover habitat for migratory birds, and the use of long-term datasets to detect meaningful change in wildlife populations. David’s passion for bird migration, and the emergent technology used to study it, cannot be overemphasized; and if you’ve ever met him or seen him talk, you know how infectious this passion can be.
