About Me

Im an ERE major at Humboldt State. My main area of focus tends to be in water: Groundwater systems, hydrology, rainwater catchment systems, micro-hydro systems, etc. I love to go rock climbing, hiking, to the beach, and just about anything else that gives a good excuse to hang out under the sun. I play a lot of guitar in my spare time! Please feel free to contact me at jmb1567@humboldt.edu or if you see me around campus feel free to say hello!
