Before coming to Montana, Michael earned a B.S. in Environmental Science from Kutztown University, served with the Western Colorado Conservation Corps, and worked for a fishing and hunting outfitter in Northern Quebec. Michael moved to Missoula in 2023 to work for the PacFish/InFish Biological Opinion Monitoring Program as a field technician monitoring stream and riparian habitats of the Columbia and Missouri River basins. Michael is excited to be a part of the WMCC team and is looking forward to spending time with local communities to continue the important work of the AIS Industry Outreach project.
