I was born and raised in Concordia Kansas. I received my Bachelors and Masters in Science from Fort Hays State University in Hays Kansas. I majored in Fisheries Biology and Aquatic Ecology. I came to faith in Christ in 2014 just prior to starting Graduate school. I have been blessed to have had the opportunities to work for wildlife agencies in Kansas, Wyoming, Minnesota, Utah and Idaho. 

 

I moved to Kodiak in March of 2019 with 3 duffel bags and a bicycle to work for the Kodiak Regional Aquaculture Association's Research and Monitoring division as a Fisheries Biologist. 

 

With recent additions to our family God made it apparent that I couldn't continue being away for the majority of the summer field season. He afforded me this opportunity at KCS and I am extremely grateful for the opportunity. God has been so faithful in our coming to Kodiak and I look forward to what else He has in store for us here.
