What do you like about living in the Pacific Northwest?
I appreciate the dense forests and beautiful river systems seen throughout WA state and the PNW. There is always something nature has to offer (camping, fishing, dirtbiking) and living in the PNW provides access to some of the country's most diverse and beautiful natural resources to play in.
Why do you work here (at the District)?
Conservation District work has truly become a way of life and an identity over my career. The voluntary conservation model has provided me with amazing opportunities and landscape scale successes for over a decade. Snohomish Conservation District is a perennial leader in the WA CD space and I wanted to join an organization that would allow me to continue to grow, thrive and conserve our natural resources for future generations.
