Biography

I'm originally from Wisconsin and earned a BS in fisheries and wildlife from the University of Minnesota. I spent a few years working for various entities as a research assistant before I earned a MS in wildlife ecology from Texas A&M University. In my free time I enjoy backpacking, canoeing, birding, and hiking.
