Ashland

Bio

I was born and raised in rural Sawyer County and graduated from UW-Stevens Point with a degree in Forest Administration. When I am not working, I like to be in the outdoors doing activities such as hunting, cutting firewood and exercising. My interests in forestry began when I was working at a private tree nursery while in high school.

What I like about Sawyer County: Sawyer County has many resources to take advantage of in terms of recreation, work life and balance. The forest resource is diverse and has contributed to the local economy for many years.

Bio

I grew up in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and studied Forest Management at Michigan Technological University. In my free time, I enjoy biking, gardening, dancing, and music. My choice to become a forester was influenced through the enjoyment of recreation on industrial forest land. Forest management allows forests to stay intact and usable for profit, recreation, and wildlife habitat. Finding a balance between multiple goals on forest land is the most rewarding part of being a forester.

What I like about Ashland and Bayfield Counties: I enjoy the variety in landscape and culture. The people here have their own histories and reasons for owning forest land.
