Anthony spent his youth playing and working in the forests of central Nova Scotia, where his family owns and operates a forestry company. Following undergraduate studies in Environmental Science from Memorial University of Newfoundland, he continued his passion for forestry by pursuing a MSc. and PhD. in Forest Ecology and Management from Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, Ontario (2002-2009), where he also worked as a forestry consultant, focusing on forest inventory and management related issues.
After graduate studies and several years employed as an industrial forester, Anthony worked for the Canadian Forest Service—Natural Resources Canada as a Research Scientist (Forest Ecologist), focusing on forest modeling and the effects of climate change on wood supply across Canada. He joined the faculty in 2021 as an Associate Professor of Forest Management and continues research on the effects of environmental change on the forestry sector. Anthony enjoys spending time with his family, working on the camp, and ‘tinkering’ in his woodlot.
