Biography

Jesse received his BA from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln with a major in fisheries and wildlife. After graduating, he earned his MS from Kansas State University while studying prairie stream fish assemblages and sampling methodologies. Jesse is currently a doctoral student focusing on understanding how lentic fish assemblages and population characteristics reflect ecological integrity.
