Zachary Smith is deeply missed in the environmental field. The world is a better place because he was in it. His influence on his students, myself included, has been profound. There’s always that person you wish you could call when you have questions about work or research. For me, that was Zach. I’m extremely grateful to have also called him my friend.

I’d be remiss if I failed to mention the book we wrote together. What Water Is Worth is a book that looks beyond the monetary values of water. These are values that are often overlooked.
