I was born and raised in Southeast Missouri. Both my parents were school teachers and RV enthusiasts so we spent most summers on the road and spent a lot of time in the Estes Park area. I moved to Colorado in 2008, finished my degree in Environmental Science - Ecological Restoration in 2014. I was an intern at Cherry Creek in 2014, a seasonal employee in 2015 and got hired on full time in 2016 and have been here ever since. Like most in this line of work I enjoy many outdoor activities but my favorites are archery hunting and birding. I also enjoy many indoor activities and am an avid sports fan and comic book collector.
