Bio

I grew up in southeast Wisconsin and studied Forest Management at UW-Stevens Point. In my free time, I enjoy camping, hunting, and fishing. My appreciation for forestry started while helping my grandpa on his tree farm. Helping landowners achieve their forest objectives is the most rewarding part of being a forester.

What I like about Vilas County: The diversity of the county makes it wonderful place to work. Fishing in the county is nationally known. People come from hours away to enjoy the outdoors and many other things that Vilas County has to offer.

Bio

I’m a Wisconsin native who loves the peace and beauty of the Northwoods. I spend free time traveling with my family, hiking, and occasionally fishing or hunting. I’m trying to become a relatively skillful cross-country skier. I graduated from UW-Stevens Point with a degree in forest management in 2000.  

What I like about Oneida & Vilas Counties: I love the large blocks of forest which are dotted with beautiful lakes and swamps. Foresters manage forests by mimicking nature. I get to steer forests to help keep them healthy while providing wildlife habitat and diverse recreational opportunities. I enjoy working on public lands, assisting private landowners, and working with loggers to sustainably manage forests.

Bio

I grew up outside of Shawano, WI and worked nearby on a relative’s dairy farm. This time outdoors influenced my decision to earn a degree in Forest Management at UW-Stevens Point. In my free time, I enjoy hunting, fishing, playing hockey, golfing, working around my house, and spending time with family. I feel fortunate my career takes me into the woods.  

What I like about Vilas County: The Northwoods of Wisconsin is a great place to live, work, and play. It supports a wide variety of forest types, abundant wildlife, and endless recreational opportunities for all ages.
