Education details are not explicitly provided, but his career began at Marquette Law School, where he later returned as faculty. His writing emphasizes collaborative approaches to environmental challenges and the evolving role of state agencies in addressing water quality issues.
Strifling’s contributions include analyzing Wisconsin’s innovative regulatory frameworks, such as county-level manure management ordinances and water quality trading programs, and evaluating the implications of U.S. Supreme Court decisions limiting federal environmental authority. He advocates for stakeholder collaboration and adaptive policies to reconcile agricultural practices with ecological preservation.
