Kreg teaches courses in research methods, data analysis, sustainability, and tourism.  He has conducted research on various topics in social science aspects of natural resource management, resilience, well-being, and tourism.  See his Google Scholar page for publications.

His current research focuses on:

• Understanding factors that facilitate landowner / homeowner actions to mitigate wildfire risk.
• Understanding how values and attitudes affect preferences and choices in natural resource and tourism contexts.  This involves hybrid choice models, which integrate choice models and structural equation models.
• Understanding worker-level employment patterns, including employment resilience and the effect of employer transitions.

Kreg does not take on graduate students as the major professor (advisor), but he serves on committees for PhD students with other major professors.

When he's not teaching or researching, Kreg and his wife are outdoors -- working in the forest, recreating, or volunteering on trail projects.
