2025 Midwest Fish & Wildlife Conference

I am a fisheries biologist with the Missouri Department of Conservation. For the past four years, I have focused on aquatic management in the Mississippi River and Mark Twain Lake Reservoir. My favorite aquatic species include lake sturgeon, catfish, and mussels. I enjoy collaborating with our federal, state, and non-governmental organization partners to make innovative environmental decisions that benefit all stakeholders involved. I hold a bachelor's degree in Wildlife and Fisheries Biology and Management from the University of Wyoming.
