Profile
Steve joined the RVLT board in
2010. A Michigan native and lifelong resident Steve grew
up in Saginaw before attending college at Lake Superior
State University where he majored in Environmental Science
and minored in Chemistry. He then went to graduate school
and got a Master’s of Science in Environmental Forest
Biology with a specialization in Plant Ecology from the
State University of New York in Syracuse. His professional
career consists of a one year stint with the U.S.D.A. Forest
Service before going to work for The Nature Conservancy
in Michigan. He spent 8 years managing restoration projects
across Eastern Michigan where he became intimately familiar
with the partners and landscape in the River Raisin watershed.
He recently accepted a position working for the Ohio Chapter
of The Nature Conservancy as the Oak Openings Project Director
where he oversees all aspects of strategic planning, partnership
building, fundraising, operations and land management in
an effort to protect this important landscape. Steve continues
to live in Clarklake, Michigan with his wife Brenda and
their new baby boy Wyatt. His recent professional move has
allowed him to become more involved with RVLT and work in
the River Raisin landscape. He hopes to help build the capacity
of RVLT by aiding in strategic planning, grant writing and
by sharing his knowledge of the local ecology.
