Coeur d’Alene Tribal member

I have the honor and privilege to have lived, worked and hunted on my traditional homelands my entire life. I have been working in the natural resources field for 20 plus years. 19 years on the technical side of our Tribe’s wildlife program, and the last year as the program manager for our reorganized Fisheries & Wildlife Program. I’ve got two associate’s degrees from Spokane Community College and a bachelor’s from Whitworth University. Most of my time is spent being highly involved with the reintroduction efforts into the blocked area. The importance of the return of salmon into traditional waters is something that I hold high in my heart.
