Dean Coble is an Associate Professor of Forest Biometrics.
He started at SFA in August 2000. Before that, he served
two years at West Virginia University as an Assistant
Professor. Prior to entering academia, he spent 11 years
in the western US earning his advanced degrees and working
in the private forestry sector.
