His recent prior employment includes five years launching and running an award-winning company-wide sustainability program at Steven Pass Mountain Resort, and six years as staff scientist, policy analyst, and outreach specialist with the Northwest office of American Rivers, a national conservation organization where he focused on ecosystem protection, rebuilding salmon populations, and administering habitat restoration grants.
